    So Zhang Zuolin arranged for the army to open fire one night, and then pretended to report to Duan Zhigui that Feng Delin was going to lead the 28th Division into the city to punish Duan Zhigui, the culprit of the imperial system. Zhang Zuolin said that he could not stop it.  Duan Zhigui was very nervous after hearing this. Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to persuade Duan Zhigui to stay away.  Duan Zhigui felt that this was a good idea. After calling the Central Committee for approval, he took the opportunity to seize a huge amount of official funds and some arms and took a special train to Tianjin.

    Zhang Zuolin secretly sent someone to inform Feng Delin of all this, and openly sent Zhang Zuolin's confidant Brigadier Sun Liechen of the 54th Brigade to personally escort him.  However, when the train arrived at Goubangzi Station, a regiment from the Ji Jinchun Brigade of the 28th Division that Feng Delin had already arranged intercepted the train at Goubangzi Station.  The leader of the regiment, Qiu Enrong, got on the bus and handed over two telegrams in the name of Fengtian soldiers and civilians, which said: "The outgoing general Duan Zhigui is the culprit of the imperial system. The people of Fengtian are planning to impose the punishment they deserve, but they dare to carry two million provincial official funds."  The people of Fengtian all expressed their hatred for the huge merging of arms and weapons, and they fled in fear of crime. They sent a message to Brigadier Ji to send troops to intercept and take him to Fengtian and deal with him according to law." The soldiers all rushed to the platform with guns and ammunition, and the situation was tense.

    Duan Zhigui showed the telegram to Sun Liechen. After reading it, Sun Liechen said loudly and dissatisfied: "This is unreasonable, wait until I ask." He got off the car and went to the box office to talk to Commander Qiu, but Huang He left without any news.  Duan Zhigui was panicked when he saw that Sun Liechen had not returned for a long time. He immediately ordered the official funds and arms to be unloaded and piled on the platform.

    Seeing all this, Sun Liechen got on the car and reported: "People from all walks of life in Fengtian are fierce, and they must intercept the special car and escort it back. After many discussions with Deputy Director Zhang, they agreed not to detain the special car, but the official funds and arms must be counted and left behind."  , and called the Central Committee to investigate and deal with it." Duan Zhigui quickly nodded in approval and ordered that they be taken back to Commander Qiu for inventory.

    Zhang Zuolin's goal had been achieved and he gave up when he saw fit. Duan Zhigui was immediately released and escaped from Fengtian in despair.  However, when sending Buddha to the west, Zhang Zuolin still asked Sun Liechen to lead a battalion to escort him to Tianjin, which was full of favor.  Duan Zhigui also felt that Zhang Lin was loyal enough, but was very dissatisfied with Feng Delin. After all, the stolen money he had worked so hard to scrape ended up being used for wedding clothes for others, and it was Feng Delin who benefited.  After he arrived in Beijing, he met with Yuan Shikai and strongly recommended Zhang Zuolin, while he severely reprimanded Feng Delin.

    Feng Delin was overjoyed to have received a huge sum of money, but he was unprepared for the seriousness of the incident.  If he knew that his short-sighted behavior was the countdown clock to his own downfall, I wonder if he would still do it, or still be so excited.

    Of course Zhang Zuolin has been interested in this huge sum of money for a long time, and of course he wants a share of it.  However, Zhang Hanqing knew clearly that after Yuan Shikai, power belonged to Duan Qirui (old Duan), and Duan Zhigui (little Duan) had a close relationship with him.  In order to "have something to say when we meet" in the future, some things have to be endured.

    "Of course, it is not Zhang Zuolin's style to hand over these important official funds and arms to Feng Delin so cheaply and let him become powerful. He would rather break up than break up.  However, in order to lure Feng Delin to come forward, he promised to give him all the benefits. It would be a bit too mean to reach out like this. Lao Zhang is not such a person.

    Fortunately, the father and son had a plan beforehand, and Zhang Hanqing was confident that he could make Feng Delin spit out the fat in his mouth.

    On the eve of Duan Zhigui's departure from Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin felt that it was time to formally seize power in Fengtian, so he officially announced the "Charter of the Fengtian Security Association", which was a replica of the "Declaration of Independence" proposed by the provinces at this time.  Yuan Jinkai also came forward to incite business gentry and groups from all walks of life to advocate the establishment of self-government, and promoted it as "serving people and governing the people".

    Yuan Shikai was surprised when he found out the news. However, at this time, anti-Yuan uprisings led by Sun Yat-sen broke out in Shandong, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces. Yuan's old troops in various places defected in order to protect themselves.  .  If there is another trouble in the three eastern provinces, once Zhang Zuolin leads his troops into the pass, he will be attacked from both sides.

    It seemed that Zhang Zuolin could no longer satisfy him as General Fengtian. Against this background, Yuan Shikai, who had thought twice, did not dare to send anyone else to Fengtian, so he had to choose one person between Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin to officially take over the military and political power of Fengtian.  .  When he was considering candidates for governor, he consulted Duan Zhigui for his opinion.

    In fact, the candidates at that time could only be one of Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin. This was determined by strength.  Duan Zhigui hated the bad-faced Feng Delin, so he recommended Zhang Zuolin.

    Yuan Shikai's impression of Zhang Zuolin was not bad at first, but later he became very dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's behavior of making money while not working hard, so he wanted to return the favor in office.  In his plan, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as General Fengtian, and Feng Delin was appointed as Assistant Military Affairs Officer. However, he also held the important post of Fengtian Patrol Envoy (i.e. provincial governor), which still served as a constraint for Zhang Zuolin.  This was Yuan's angry response to Zhang Zuolin's double-dealing and double-dealing.

      Because Zhang Zuolin ostensibly serves as the military governor and has considerable real power.  But considering that Feng Delin also has a large number of troops, the part-time job of this patrol envoy will be different, leaving Zhang Zuolin helpless.

    Duan Zhigui was very dissatisfied with Feng Delin. At this time, Zhang Zuolin's good character took advantage: "If the president does this, not only will Zhang Zuolin be very angry, but the situation will be even more difficult to control; as far as Feng Delin is concerned, he will also take advantage of it, which makes people all over the world  How can I be convinced?" The so-called "people of the world" are actually him.

    After repeated consideration, Yuan Shikai finally gave up his revenge at this time, but he still felt like a thorn in his heart.

    Duan Zhigui¡¯s words made the hesitant Yuan Shikai finally make a decision.  On April 22, President Yuan Da issued an order appointing Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 27th Division, as General Shengjing to supervise Fengtian military affairs. He also appointed him as Fengtian Patrol Envoy (equivalent to the commander of the provincial military region and the commander of the armed police force and the provincial general).  Chief), is actually the top military and political leader in Fengtian.

    Although Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division who was jumping up and down, was the commander of the same division, he was appointed as Assistant Military Affairs Officer (deputy position), ranking below Zhang.  Yuan Shikai and Duan Zhigui regard Zhang and Feng as their principal and deputy positions respectively, so they may not have the intention to sow discord.

    The title of the military commander of each province was called Dudu under the Nanjing Provisional Government. During Yuan Shikai's period, it was changed to General. Later, because the name "General" was too smelly and had a bit of an imperial flavor, it was renamed "Governor".

    The governor is the military commander of a province. He is at the same level as the provincial governor. One is in charge of the army and the other is in charge of government. Originally, each performed its own duties and did not belong to the other.  But in the warlord era, the power of a provincial governor was far greater than that of the provincial governor. A powerful governor could even directly decide whether the provincial governor would stay or go.  Since it was common for military men to interfere in politics, civilian governors could only look at the faces of military governors. This is why Tan Yankai later joked that "the governor is the mother-in-law, and the governor is the daughter-in-law."  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
