    The reason why Zhang Zuolin took the risk of offending Feng Delin but did not take the opportunity to sweep away all the stolen goods and insisted on giving Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan a piece of the pie was not because he was afraid of looking bad, but because he heard that the situation was not good for him.

    He was not yet excited about being appointed as General Shengwu and Inspector General, but he heard bad news.  How could Yuan Shikai, who was so good at strategy, be so confident in leaving Fengtian to him alone?  What's more, Lao Zhang's recent performance also made him a little frightened and expressed serious uneasiness.  If Feng Delin doesn't catch his eye, he can still contain Zhang Zuolin.  Now because of a small section, he has adopted the line of promoting Zhang Zuolin, but it does not mean that he will increase Zhang Zuolin's status uncontrollably.

    The four powerful figures in Fengtian are the two division commanders Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, and the two guardian envoys Ma Longtan and Wu Junsheng.

    Wu Junsheng was originally used by Yuan Shikai as the third line to balance the forces of Feng and Zhang, and served as the Taoliao garrison envoy and commander of the second cavalry brigade.  Although not as powerful as Feng and Zhang, their military ranks are all lieutenant general.  Yuan Shikai's use of Wu Junsheng and Wu's rising status and prestige had already aroused Zhang Zuolin's suspicion.

    Speaking of the two later generations of chief officials, there was still a lot of discord at this time, although they were both Zhang Zuolin's first brothers: Ma Longtan was the eldest brother, and Wu Jun was promoted to the second brother.

    After the Russo-Japanese War, in order to deal with the treasonous Mongolian bandit Tao Ketaoming, Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, recruited Zhang Zuolin into Liaoyuan to suppress the bandits together with Wu Junsheng and others, who were also commanders of the patrol battalion.  Wu Junsheng entered the military world earlier than Zhang Zuolin, and had been stationed in Zhengjiatun for many years, so he regarded himself as the boss and did not take Zhang Zuolin seriously. Therefore, he was very disgusted with Zhang Zuolin's arrival and adopted a discriminatory attitude.

    At first, Wu Junsheng did not allow Zhang Zuolin's troops to camp in the city.  It was the rainy season, and Zhang Zuolin's patrol camp encountered difficulties with food and accommodation. After negotiation, Wu Junsheng reluctantly agreed to enter the city, but he still set up obstacles in all aspects and made things difficult in every possible way.  Zhang Zuolin had just arrived and was unfamiliar with the people and the place. He wanted to get close to Wu Junsheng, so he paid a visit in person, but he was given a cold reception.

    Wu Junsheng said to Zhang with ulterior motives at the reception banquet held for Zhang Zuolin: "Well, well, it's good that you're here this time! These bandits have always bullied weak soldiers. I, Wu Xingquan, have been ordered to suppress bandits for many years, but with little success and bloodshed.  Quite a few, well, well, it's better if you come!" He mocked Zhang Zuolin, who was born in Green Forest.  Wu Junsheng also knowingly asked Zhang Zuolin when he was recruited in front of everyone, making Zhang Zuolin very embarrassed and ashamed.  However, Zhang Zuolin was a veteran in the world, so he still suppressed his anger and forced a smile to socialize, so that the Jie Feng Banquet did not break down.

    However, in that campaign to suppress the bandits, Zhang Zuolin became a blockbuster. He successfully pursued and suppressed the Mongolian rebel bandits and received a commendation from the Qing court.  Zhang Zuolin, who returned in triumph, is no longer the Zhang Zuolin who was laughed at by Wu Junsheng a year ago.  In order to put aside the past grudges and make friends, Wu Junsheng asked to see him many times, but Zhang Zuolin turned him away.  In the end, Wu Junsheng overcame various "difficulties" and Daolinjian showed weakness, and the two were tied.

    The final event that caused the gap between the two men occurred after the Wuchang Uprising. At that time, the struggle between revolution and counter-revolution in Fengtian City became increasingly acute.  The revolutionaries in Fengtian secretly discussed independence. They elected Lan Tianwei, the commander of the Second Mixed Association of the Army, as the governor and Wu Jinglian, director of the Fengtian Consultation Bureau, as the chief of civil affairs. They wanted to expel Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three northeastern provinces, and declared the independence of the three northeastern provinces.  .  After hearing the news, Zhao felt isolated and helpless and wanted to recruit foreign troops to defend himself. "Perhaps Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng, the commander of the rear patrol team, could be trusted for their loyalty and bravery, so he sent an urgent call to summon them."

    At this time, Zhang Zuolin was in charge of suppressing the Taonan area. After hearing the news, he immediately led his cavalry to march southward at night. In less than three days, they reached Fengtian. The remaining troops advanced and stationed heavy troops in the city. They were replaced by Jin Daojian, the patrol commander on the middle road.  As a result, both horses and infantry were under control.

    However, Wu Junsheng was hesitant when he first received the telegram. Because he was not packed properly, he ordered his troops to set off the next morning.  "On the day of Jiedan, before Wu Jun rose, a knight came to the city with a thorn and said: "General Zhang led his troops to pass here. Due to the strict order, he did not dare to stay. He ordered someone to come with a thorn and meet him in the province.  When Wu Junsheng heard this, he was dumbfounded and silent for a long time. Then he realized that it was a mistake to act too late. He sighed and said: "What kind of god is Mr. Zhang!"  "

    This statement may have some elements of romance, but I am afraid that in Wu Junsheng¡¯s heart, Zhang Zuolin is really a magical existence.  Anyway, from then on, Wu Junsheng no longer had any conflicts with Zhang Zuolin, but concentrated on the war to exterminate the Mongolian bandits - it is said to be a war because since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian forces have always had immortal independence with the support of Japan or Russia |  Li Xin, the intermittent suppression of bandits in official history did not come to an end until the 10th year of the Republic of China.  In terms of time, it is comparable to the Anti-Japanese War.

    However, Wu Junsheng¡¯s victory in quelling the Wutai rebellion shattered the plot of Tsarist Russia in a historical sense and safeguarded the unity of the country and the unity of the nation; from a personal perspective, he also became famous outside the Great Wall for his bravery and good fighting skills.  Some people commented that Wu Chun was a martial artist and had no politics.He is a capable man, but he is strong by nature. When he is present in actual combat, his fighting skills are unparalleled among the military commanders. His opinion is not unfair.

    Just a month ago, Duan Zhigui planned to let Wu Junsheng serve as the garrison of Dongmeng. Although the decision ended because Duan was expelled, Zhang Zuolin kept it in mind.  In order to avoid Wu Junsheng's control, Zhang Zuolin recommended Ma Longtan as the governor of Dongbian Road to contain Wu Junsheng, and cleverly defeated Yuan Shikai's move.  Ma Longtan is Zhang Zuolin's ally. He is similar in age to Feng Delin. He is a pure soldier and has never had political ambitions. This is one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin is relatively assured of him and strongly supports his rise to power.

    When Zhang Zuolin thought about it, his 27th Division, plus the 10 newly built battalions, were more than enough to completely compete with the 28th Division; he had Ma Longtan on his side, but Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin had never peed into the same pot. The advantage was their own.  This is also one of the important reasons why he dared to extend his black hands to Feng Delin.

    However, Wu Jun's rise to power inevitably led to an increase in self-confidence. He secretly discussed with Ma Longtan, the governor of Dongbian Road in the provincial capital: "During the tenure of General Zhen'an (Duan Zhigui), the authority of the two of us was slightly higher than that of the general. The present system has been abolished.  , although General Shengwu is a supervisor, he is also a full-time official appointed by the Central Committee, and the envoy class is not under General Shengwu, so there is no need to use the words 'cheng', 'zhi' and other words in the future."

    After all, Ma Longtan was supported by Zhang Zuolin, so he told Zhang Zuolin the original words.  Zhang Zuolin said angrily: "Wu Xingquan wants to be on an equal footing with me! I can't touch Feng Delin, but I can't touch you!" In terms of official position, he is the supervisor, and Feng Delin is the deputy, so he really can't do anything.  But Wu Junsheng was just a guardian envoy.

    Zhang Hanqing knows that Wu Junsheng is one of the strongest ties in official history, and he has second thoughts now.  It¡¯s impossible for everyone to obey you and treat you as king as soon as your bastard temper comes, right?  No matter how much you serve as Superintendent Fengtian, you are only a lieutenant general and a division commander, and you cannot have any personal influence on Lao Wu, because he is also a local official who accepts the Central Committee's orders.

    He said euphemistically: "This is Commander Wu trying to test his father, but he has the capital now. If his father attacks him, then push him to Assistant Feng. I guess that is what Lao Feng wants, right?"  After all, he weakened his father's power without spending a penny! My father always admired Liu Bang, saying that he was a rogue but achieved great things, but you remember that when he was threatened by his general Han Xin at the critical moment of the Chu-Han War, he was  How?"

    This matter is very famous in history.

    At that time, Liu Bang was not completely healed from the arrow shot by Xiang Yu, and it happened that Liu Bang failed to encircle Zhongli Mei but was forced to retreat by Xiang Yu's counterattack. He was too busy to take care of himself and was hoping that Han Xin could support him.  Han Xin took the opportunity to send an envoy to request to be the "fake king of Qi".  The so-called "fake" means agency.

    After Liu Bang read Han Xin's letter, he became angry and cursed in front of the envoy: "I was trapped in Guangwu by Xiang Yu. I was waiting for you, Han Xin, to rescue me day and night. Not only did you not come, you actually wanted to make yourself king. It's really unreasonable."  !" Fortunately, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were relatively calm. They quickly stepped on Liu Bang's feet and quietly said to him: "The situation is very unfavorable to us now. How can we not let Han Xin become king on his own? Why not take this opportunity to make it happen?  He, make him king, treat him well, and let him guard Qi. Otherwise, I am afraid something will happen, which will be even more detrimental to us."

    Liu Bang was such a smart man. He suddenly realized that he was angry and rejoiced. He changed his words and cursed: "A man has conquered south and north and conquered so many territories and cities. If you want to be a king, just be a real king. Why should you be a fake king? Really?"  You have no future!" Liu Bang cursed and changed the meaning of his words. He first scolded Han Xin for being dishonest and seeking credit for the king, but later he scolded Han Xin for his lack of future and that he should really be the king of Qi.  Because Liu Bang responded accordingly, to Han Xin's envoy, Liu Bang's words sounded like he was angry, but he seemed to be complaining about Han Xin.

    Later, Han Xin sent troops, and only then could there be an ambush from all sides, only then could there be the siege of Gaixia, only then could Wujiang commit suicide, and only then could the Han family have conquered the world for eight hundred years.

    "I guess someone drugged Wu Junsheng, just to make his father unable to control the situation. If Wu Junsheng doesn't mess up, and Ma Longtan has a good relationship with his father, Feng Delin alone is definitely no match for his father. So, if you give some good things appropriately, then  The two of them will not turn against each other and get together with Feng Delin. Moreover, my father has great ambitions and will not have too many helpers. If he can keep those two in his hands, my father will be able to secure his position in Fengtian Province."

    So Zhang Zuolin pressured Feng Delin into dividing the stolen goods.

    Zhang Zuolin took half of the money in the name of the provincial treasury; the rest was also given to Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan.  For this kind of good thing that fell from the world, Wu and Ma were grateful, and their admiration for Zhang Zuolin was as continuous as the turbulent river.  If you have milk, you are a mother, and you don't care whether sharing things from Feng Delin is in line with the moral principles of the world.

    ????????????????????? Lao Zhang Zhongyi, for such a big thing as expelling Duan, he didn¡¯t get any benefits from it. He didn¡¯t even get involved in the weapons that the warriors most loved, and it was really shared equally by the other three families!  Therefore, in Wu Junsheng's heart, Zhang Zuolin's evaluation of "can achieve great things" emerged spontaneously, which also made him maintain the idea of ??"not favoring Feng Delin" in the subsequent battle between Feng and Zhang.  Maybe for Lao Zhang, this is an unexpected surprise.

    Now Lao Zhang¡¯s heart is full of joy!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)None of the arms that I loved the most were involved, and the other three families really shared it equally!  Therefore, in Wu Junsheng's heart, Zhang Zuolin's evaluation of "can achieve great things" emerged spontaneously, which also made him maintain the idea of ??"not favoring Feng Delin" in the subsequent battle between Feng and Zhang.  Maybe for Lao Zhang, this is an unexpected surprise.
