One hundred and fifty-ninth chapter righteousness kills relatives
Sun Liechen came to Beijing on behalf of Zhang Zuolin and received extraordinary treatment. Compared with the cold treatment that Zhang Zuolin received at the train station last time, he was extremely enthusiastic. Lao Yuan asked his best confidant Yang Shiqi to greet him at the train station in person and brought Sun Liechen in directly.
to Xinhua Palace.
The more enthusiastic he is, the more it means that Yuan Shikai is in a difficult situation. Otherwise, people would not treat Zhang Zuolin pretentiously, so why should he treat himself preferentially? Sun Liechen knew clearly in his heart that things are unpredictable. In just a few months, it will become
Lao Yuan asked for help from Fengjun.
Sun Liechen is also an actor. He showed sincerity and fear. He followed Yang Shiqi to Lao Yuan's palace. Hongxian Emperor Yuan Shikai was sitting on the dragon chair. Sun Liechen was also shocked when he saw him. Lao Yuan's hair was gray and there were stains on his face.
Young age spots make the complexion even worse, as if the face is covered with a layer of black!
His face is full of heart, and just by looking at this picture of virtue, you can tell that his days will probably be long soon. This was just a fleeting thought of Sun Liechen, but he still kowtowed to Yuan Shikai honestly.
"Zan Yao, please get back on your feet quickly." When Lao Yuan saw Sun Liechen being so respectful, he felt much better and asked with a smile, "How is Yuting?"
"Replying to Your Majesty, Zhang Shuai has just taken charge of Fengtian's military power and is working hard to rectify the army and perform his duties faithfully for Your Majesty."
"Okay, okay, Yuting is a capable person, and I feel relieved that Fengtian is under his rule."
After thinking for a while, Lao Yuan asked again: "Yuting said that he would send troops to the pass to join the war. How many people can Fengtian send?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the people of Fengtian are small and weak, and they have to bear the heavy responsibility of border defense. There are not many troops that can be mobilized. For the time being, we can send out a brigade of troops. In another month or two, Fengtian can organize a division of troops. So.
For His Majesty’s encouragement.”
When Lao Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up. If Fengtian could send so many troops, it would definitely have a great impact on the battle situation. Moreover, Fengjun easily defeated Yijun, which shows that Fengjun's combat effectiveness is not weak and he can have a battle.
With 5,000 loyal and brave men, the front line might actually be able to reverse the course.
Originally, Zhang Zuolin said that he would send troops to support Lao Yuan. Yuan Shikai was more of a psychological comfort, and he had not yet reached the time of betrayal and separation. But now that he saw it, it was real support, and Lao Yuan felt warm in his heart.
However, Yang Shiqi on the side was shocked. Zhang Zuolin suddenly agreed to send a division and a brigade, with 15,000 troops. This was not a small number. You have to know how many people Lao Zhang had in total?
"Commander Sun, doesn't Zhang Yuting only have the 27th Division and an independent brigade under his command? Could it be that he is planning to send all his troops into the pass, so what force will he use to defend Fengtian?"
Yang Shiqi's words also reminded Lao Yuan not to just be happy. If Zhang Zuolin is talking big words, his happiness will be in vain.
"Zan Yao, do you have any specific plans for this army? You must not ignore Fengtian. The Japanese are watching eagerly, and the Mongolian bandits are causing trouble. If Fengtian makes a mistake, I will be a sinner for the ages!"
Although Yuan Shikai died as a hero, he was still very clear-headed and could never lose his territory in his own hands. This was also the bottom line that many Beiyang warlords insisted on. Later, Lao Zhang was also bombed to death because he insisted on this bottom line.
Arrived at Huanggutun.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shuai has carefully studied that there are still some troops left in the guard regiment that General Duan brought to Fengtian last time. They are all Beiyang elite soldiers with strong combat effectiveness. Zhang Shuai transferred some troops from the 27th Division and enriched them to form a brigade.
There is no problem with the advance troops. The next division will be mobilized from various places in Fengtian. The two garrison envoys Ma Longtan and Wu Junsheng have agreed to send troops together with Zhang Shuai. The three parties will coordinate to bring out the main troops and then add some new troops.
, can completely form a division."
Sun Liechen deliberately didn't say anything about Feng Delin, which was obviously a stumbling block for Old Feng. After hearing this, Old Yuan frowned slightly.
"Zanyao, will withdrawing the main force weaken Fengjun's combat effectiveness? And how can the army thus assembled be guaranteed to have sufficient combat effectiveness? How will military pay and weapons be solved? Do you have a plan?"
Every question Lao Yuan asked was on point. It was obvious that the great emperor was not completely confused yet, and it was not easy to fool him.
"Your Majesty, the deployment of the main force will naturally affect the combat effectiveness, but Zhang Shuai and the two garrison envoys have formulated a set of mobile defense strategies. Relying on the rapid transportation of troops by cavalry and railways, once there is a problem, they can provide rapid support, which can greatly save troops.
The various units of the Fengjun Army often worked together to suppress bandits in the past. They have rich experience in joint operations. After training, their combat effectiveness can be fully maintained. As for the army's salary, they tried their best to raise it themselves. They borrowed part from Fengtian Bank and asked the British to solve part of it. This is the most difficult problem at the moment.
As for arms, the gap is a bit big, but you can also buy them from the Japanese."
After listening to this, Lao Yuan nodded frequently. Zhang Zuolin was indeed attentive and had coordinated and considered all aspects, otherwise he would never be able to send so many people. Thinking of this, Lao Yuan became angry. If other local officials could be like Zhang Zuolin
Thinking about himself as well, and then forming an army of tens of thousands is just like playing, how can Cai E be arrogant?
"I can tell that Yuting is the real loyal minister and has thought very carefully. I will allocate you five thousand rifles and twelve mountain cannons to equip the army. In addition, I will ask Yuting to expand the independent brigade.
Let's turn it into a Fengtian garrison division. The force is too thin and cannot suppress those half-hearted and rebellious ministers."
Of course, Lao Yuan's rebellious minister was referring to Feng Delin. Three of the four major forces in Fengtian agreed to send troops, but he remained silent. He was nothing but a rebellious minister.
Yuan Shikai handed it over to his female officer, and soon he took a bank check of 500,000 yuan and delivered it to Sun Liechen. Now that the Beiyang government was in financial difficulties and could not get out a penny, naturally this little money was
Lao Yuan’s private property.
Yang Shiqi had followed Yuan Shikai for many years, and he felt sour when he saw that Lao Yuan had fallen into this situation. To be honest, he did not believe that Zhang Zuolin would be loyal to Yuan Shikai wholeheartedly, but at this time, he could only treat the dead horse as a living doctor.
Sun Liechen said: "I hope you can tell Zhang Shuai not to betray His Majesty's trust."
Sun Liechen was very happy for a long time. The weapons given by Lao Yuan were enough to equip a brigade, especially the artillery, which was a good thing that the Feng army lacked. Although the money was not much, it was still a piece of meat. The most important thing was that Lao Yuan
After agreeing to the expansion of Fengjun, Lao Zhang could legitimately have two divisions. The purpose of coming to Beijing this time was all achieved, and Sun Liechen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He kowtowed to Lao Yuan one after another: "Your Majesty's grace, I will keep it in mind and I will do my best to die!"
Sun Liechen left Xinhua Palace. He could not return to Fengtian for the time being. Although Lao Yuan promised to give Fengjun weapons, he still had to wait for Fengjun to send out his troops. Therefore, Sun Liechen sent a message to Lao Zhang.
Got the telegram.
After Zhang Zuolin saw it, he was also overjoyed. Not only him, but Zhang Zuoxiang and others were also ecstatic. This time, despite the huge infamy, he jumped out to support Yuan Shikai. In total, he made a lot of money, and the benefits were beyond imagination.
Lao Zhang immediately appointed Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander of the Fengtian Garrison Division, and Zhang Zuoxiang was promoted smoothly. It also happened to be the eve of the New Year, and the Zhang family was full of smiles. Everyone from the top to the bottom of the Zhang family gathered together, and laughter continued.
In addition to Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Tingshu, Zhang Zuoxiang also had several younger children, and even some were nursing. For example, his wife Hua Futian and other aunts and wives took care of these young masters and ladies.
The three of them, Zhang Zuoxiang, sat together. Zhang Tinglan held a cigarette pouch in his hand and filled a pot of cigarettes for Zhang Zuoxiang.
"Dad, please try it. This is the best Guandong Taiwanese film."
Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes lit up and he took the pipe: "This thing was originally a tribute, and only the emperor can enjoy it." After lighting it, Zhang Zuoxiang took a beautiful puff, blew out a big smoke ring for a while, and said with a smile: "
Yes, it does taste unusual!”
"I heard people say that Guandong Taipian is different from other cigarettes. It can moisten the lungs, suppress coughs, and aid digestion!"
After Zhang Zuoxiang finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, he knocked the pot on the table. The ashes condensed into one shape without spreading out at all, and fell neatly on the table. Zhang Tingshu took a look and became interested: "Brother,
You have something good, why didn’t you tell me?”
"You are a little kid, why are you smoking!"
"Smoking is not allowed. Let me drink at the head office." Zhang Tingshu turned around and brought out a large glass wine bottle, shook it at Zhang Tinglan, and then said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Dad, this thing is said to be drunk by the Tsar and his family.
Yes, it was sent over by that Jew named Fred. You have been smoking the Emperor of China’s cigarettes and drinking some wine from the Emperor of Russia, so that you can enjoy the new year.”
"Second brother, you can only borrow flowers to offer to Buddha."
"It took me a lot of effort to find it among your pile of gifts, and I also put in a lot of sweat."
There were indeed countless people giving gifts to Zhang Tinglan, which filled several rooms. Zhang Tinglan was too lazy to clean up, so Zhang Tingshu went to search for many rare things.
The three men all poured a glass, but Zhang Tingshu was a little confused, "Brother, how should I drink this?"
"The Russians call this stuff vodka, and it is said that you have to drink it in one gulp to be bold."
As soon as Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Zhang Tingshu poured a glass of wine into his stomach. He felt like fire was coming out of his mouth, burning his esophagus, mouth and nose. He kept coughing, and his nose and tears came out. He turned around and grabbed the teapot, desperately
He poured it into his mouth. Looking at Zhang Tingshu's embarrassed look, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help laughing. The vodka sent by Fred was purer and higher in alcohol content than usual. Even an old drunkard couldn't stand it. Zhang Tingshu, a young boy like him,
How can I bear it?
After struggling for a while, Zhang Tingshu recovered. He also knew that Zhang Tinglan had deliberately tricked him, so he angrily wanted to settle the score with Zhang Tinglan. At this moment, there was suddenly a burst of rapid footsteps, and Zhang Xueliang ran over panting.
