    After seizing Heilongjiang, Zhang Zuolin's power greatly expanded. The number of troops under his personal control expanded from one division to three divisions. He had to develop beyond Fengtian. Controlling Jilin became Zhang Zuolin's next goal.  Before that, it is necessary to eliminate Feng Delin who is currently lying next to him.

    And Lao Zhang has been drooling about the 28th Division.

    Both division-level units, the 27th and 28th Divisions are one of the second batch of 11 divisions established after the Six Towns of Beiyang. They are the most well-equipped and best-trained national elite forces.  For example, the establishment of the First Division of the Army in Heilongjiang is actually not in the Beiyang Army sequence. It can only be regarded as a local force at best.  As for the Jilin Mixed Brigade, Yingshun's Fifth Cavalry Brigade, etc., they can only be regarded as miscellaneous troops.  Counting the newly established 29th Division, the country only established 20 such Beiyang Divisions in the sixth year of the Republic of China.

    If you can capture such a division, it will be a multiplier for Zhang Zuolin's strength.  For this reason, Zhang Zuolin has always been unwilling to confront Feng Delin: no matter who is injured by two elite divisions, it will be an irreparable loss.  Privately, Zhang Zuolin had always regarded the Twenty-Eighth Division as his own.

    But with Feng Delin¡¯s maturity, he had already sensed the crisis and wisely retreated to Beizhen when Zhang Zuolin opened his fangs.  In this round, Zhang Zuolin got back one, but he had 28 divisions in hand, and no one could do anything to him!

    really.  Dealing with such a "Father of the Republic of China" who had made no serious mistakes and had elite soldiers at his disposal, Zhang Zuolin felt the pain of a dog biting a hedgehog with nowhere to bite.  The Twenty-Eighth Master was lying in front of him like a beautiful woman whose body was stretched out, but he was restrained.

    Zhang Hanqing knew what his father was thinking, so he comforted him by saying, "Father, is he interested in the 28th Division? In fact, don't worry too much. It won't take half a month. I guarantee that you can have a complete 28th Division without using a knife or a gun!"

    Because Zhang Hanqing often made shocking words but often had extraordinary manifestations, Zhang Zuolin's words to him changed from childish words to hesitation and then to the master's advice. In fact, there was a certain change, but the time was too fast for him to feel it.  As soon as he said this, the joy was no small matter.  He suddenly asked: "Xiao Liuzi, do you have any good ideas?"

    Zhang Hanqing now plays the role of military advisor in his mind. In terms of economic affairs, he is really better than Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang. Even Yang Yuting, the general counselor who has been with him for a long time, is gradually unable to compare.

    Zhang Hanqing knows what happened next. Is Zhang Xun still on his way to Beijing?  There will soon be a great chaos in Beijing, and a bunch of clowns will appear in front of and behind the horse. Feng Delin will secede from the military community.  But he couldn't make it clear that it was not a prediction, but a prophecy.  He could only say: "According to the information from the Feng Intelligence Bureau, there will be shocking changes in Beijing. That leader Zhang intends to help the little emperor to the altar again. I am urging the Feng Intelligence Bureau to provide Mr. Feng with certain information and convenience so that he can  By actively meddling in this matter, and then trying to ruin his reputation, my father can take down the 28th Division without firing a shot."

    Zhang Zuolin found his words unbelievable, but Zhang Hanqing insisted that there was no need to worry, and he would see the result soon: "Father, just wait patiently, the general trend has become overwhelming, and it is impossible for Master Feng not to fall into it." He smiled slyly: "Special Warfare  The team has already set off for Tianjin, and if nothing goes wrong, good news will follow."

    Zhang Zuolin asked: "But what about the special envoy sent by President Li?"

    Zhang Hanqing said categorically: "The report rejects him!"

    This special case was sent by Li Yuanhong for a simple reason: to win over.

    Duan Qirui served as the Army Chief for seven consecutive terms in the Beijing government cabinet. His strength was very small. After Yuan Shikai's death, he also served as the Prime Minister and gradually became arbitrary.  His first appointment upon taking office was to arrange Xu Shuzheng as Secretary-General of the State Council.

    This is an important department and person who often interacts with the president!  When Lao Yuan was here, Xu Shuzheng didn't show much restraint. Now that Duan Qirui is on stage, it's a pitfall that is very difficult to get around!

    Li Yuanhong was originally the vice president and governor of Hubei, but his strength was greatly reduced after Yuan Shikai was transferred from Hubei. Although he was elected president after Yuan's death, he allowed Duan Qirui to do whatever he wanted and was called the "seal president."  Li Yuanhong was furious and wanted to use his "constitutional power" to remove Duan Qirui, and Duan Qirui ordered the governors of his provinces to declare independence.  The conflict between the president and the cabinet has deepened day by day, turning into a "fight between the government and the court."

    During the dispute between the government and the imperial court, local officials watched the changes and acted as fence-sitters.  Due to his lack of strength, Li Yuanhong has repeatedly fallen behind and is eager to find a strong team to back him up.  He glanced at it for a long time, and also took a fancy to Zhang Zuolin - seeing that Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were fighting in the same city, and Zhang was far superior to Feng Delin in terms of strength and reputation, so he had the idea of ????drawing together.  He personally sent a special envoy to mediate and directly criticized Feng Delin for committing rebellion and betraying China.?, claiming that if this mediation fails again, it will be submitted to Congress for denunciation.

    ¡°If this presidential envoy had come a year, half a year, or two months earlier, Zhang Zuolin might have felt a sense of gratitude.  But the timing has changed, and the situation has become quite favorable to him. This kind of icing on the cake is no longer painful for Lao Zhang.

    Mom, what have you been doing?  When I was forced into the palace by Feng Delin and was ridiculed by Fengtian people, I didn't see you reprimanding him at all. Now that Lao Feng has stayed in Beizhen and died down, what kind of evil are you doing?  Xiao Liuzi is still holding the position of commander of the Guards Division with the rank of colonel. It is all thanks to your gift. This matter is not over yet.  Besides, if you, a clay Bodhisattva, come to drain the muddy water of Fengtian, what help will it do to you!

    The most important thing is that now is not the time to fight with Duan Qirui.

    The battle for the "Fuyuan" will eventually be easily won by Duan Qirui, who has a large number of troops. Zhang Hanqing knows the history well and seizes this opportunity keenly. Nai's father clearly expressed his support for Duan Qirui in order to annex Feng Delin in the future.  Can get support from Duan.  At that time, the governor's army, which was planning to declare the independence of each province with the support of Duan Qirui, was holding a meeting in Xuzhou. Zhang Zuolin sent deputy chief Zhao Xigu to attend the meeting. He told Zhang Xun, who claimed to be the leader of the alliance, what had happened and repeatedly told him to be polite before fighting in the future.  Lay the groundwork.

    The first letter said: "In any case, Lin should wait patiently. If something unexpected happens and the sky is full of locusts, Lin will be treated accordingly. If there is any way to rely on my father's strength, I will call you again"

    The second letter expressed the attitude of resorting to force even more openly.  The letter says: "Shao Shuai Junjian: I have humiliated myself and asked for information. I admired the ancient friendship of Yin Quan, and my gratitude is beyond words. Zuolin and Feng Gechen have been together in adversity for ten years, and they have never lost their virtue. Now I will give you a detailed story.  , the sudden move of throwing rocks into a well, the danger of people's hearts, can be sighing for three times, but we are trying to make ends meet, and the other party is meeting each other more and more. A few days ago, Feng returned to Beizhen, and Brigadier Tang also moved to Xinmin. From the surface, it seems that  Let's return home for a while, but it has been proved by various recent situations that Feng (Delin) and Tang (Yulin) are actually integrated. After recent secret investigation reports, they actually sent their private gang to recruit bandits and transport weapons. They were not enough to make ends meet.  It can be imagined. Now Zuolin has connected with the Central | Central Committee and stated the method. If the Central | Central Committee, in order to calm the trouble and calm people, will take Feng Bi as his position, Tang Ke will go with him, and Zuolin will not be demanding. If the Central |  The central government also dislikes this assistant, and it may be difficult to find a position for a while. If they deliberately disrupt and ignore the overall situation, they will really force this place and eventually resort to force. Zuolin is like no other, but his heart is upright, and he has always been known to me.  , as for the deep relationship and long-standing love between each other, it goes without saying. When the time comes to fight with the other generation, we can let it go if we are not strong enough. Fortunately, if we use our reputation and distance as a gesture, it will be enough to scare our courage.  I will take care of his soul, knowing that I have something to offer him. The details will be presented by Zhao Zhongjun. I would like to express my sincere greetings to you."

    Feng Delin also fell behind in winning the support of the central government: he was not as clear-cut as Zhang Zuolin in expressing his attitude as early as possible, and was appreciated by Duan Qirui; he also failed to attract the attention of Li Yuanhong's clique.  At a time when the political struggle between the central and central government was raging, he was basically marginalized.  When Zhang Zuolin successively exercised his power as a general and squeezed the development space of the 28th Division, he was unable to do anything and was walking on thin ice.  In less than half a year, the situation reversed, and it was his turn to give in step by step without the ability to fight back.

    He offended Prime Minister Duan Qirui's confidant Duan Zhigui first, and President Li Yuanhong was dissatisfied later. Feng Delin saw that the situation was not good, and retreated bravely, withdrawing his troops to Guangning.  Zhang Zuolin, who had been patient for a long time, suddenly got out of hand.  He took advantage of the fact that both the government and the academy were extending an olive branch to him, and he had the advantage of the right time, place, and people. It would not be Zhang Zuolin's style if he did not take advantage of the opportunity to exert force.

    On May 28, the 6th year of the Republic of China, the Duan Cabinet invited the most noble mediator, Zhao Erxun, the highest military and political chief in Fengtian who had recruited Zhang and Feng's armies. This Cishuai Zhao took a third-class train to Fengtian.

    General readers may not have a strong impression of him, but anyone who knows the "Twenty-Four Histories" knows that Zhao Erxun was the editor-in-chief of the "History of the Qing Dynasty" and had a high status in history.  This man was an upright man with a clean spirit, and he was highly regarded by the public at the time: When he took office as the president of the Qing History Museum in the second year of the Republic of China, he took third-class trains from Jinan to Tianjin and from Tianjin to Beijing. He only took rickshaws and not cars in Beijing.  Duan Qirui also wanted to use him to erase the hostility of the two powerful people outside the pass.

    After Zhao Erxun arrived in Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin immediately made a special trip to express his determination for peace. The next day Zhao Erxun went to visit Feng.  Because of his popularity, Meng Enyuan, the governor of Jilin, and Bao Guiqing, the governor of Heilongjiang, both sent their chiefs of staff to visit Zhao, and Zhao Nai convened a mediation meeting.  But at this time, Zhang Zuolin had a huge advantage, and it was his turn not to reconcile.  Naturally, mediation ultimately accomplishes nothing.

    Zhang Zuolin was unforgiving when he gained power, but Feng Delin wanted to keep a low profile and was unavailable. He then exercised his power to remove Feng Delin from his position as assistant military affairs officer and remove the 28th Division's office in Fengtian.

    Feng Delin was frustrated and retreated to Guangning (Beizhen). He was depressed and stuck to his countryside without doing anything.  Because the military pay of his troops was stuck in Zhang Zuolin's hands, and many leading officers saw that the situation was over, they all wanted to waver.  Feng Delin struggled all his life, but lost the trust of the President and Prime Minister of the Central Committee successively, and saw that it would eventually end in failure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Demoralized, stuck in the countryside, doing nothing.  Because the military pay of his troops was stuck in Zhang Zuolin's hands, and many leading officers saw that the situation was over, they all wanted to waver.  Feng Delin struggled all his life, but lost the trust of the President and Prime Minister of the Central Committee successively, and saw that it would eventually end in failure.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
