One hundred and eighty-third chapter one princes

Nakamura Satoshi suffered a stroke. A majestic Japanese army general, he completely lost control of half of his body. The former star of the Russo-Japanese War drooled at the corners of his mouth and had to be waited on when sitting, sleeping, and even going to the toilet. He became a complete laughing stock.

With the fall of Nakamura, Japan's Kanto Governorate also temporarily stopped functioning. They had no choice but to report to the country, and their secret arrangements had to be confessed to the country. Before that, the Japanese cabinet was kept in the dark. They

Although Japan played an important role in the turmoil in southern Liaoning, it did not expect that everything was led by the Kwantung Army.

Moreover, this group of people is also preparing to drag the empire into a war with China. After Prime Minister Okuma Shigenobu received the report, he immediately became furious and almost went crazy. Okuma Shigenobu proposed the so-called twenty-one principles some time ago.

Yuan Shikai must be forced to submit.

As a result, being too radical not only aroused opposition from all over China, but also internationally the United States, Britain and other countries were wary of Japan. The great powers imposed more and more restrictions on the Japanese. At this time, Okuma Shigenobu did not dare to act recklessly.

Already.

After communicating with several elders, the idea of ​​using force was finally rejected, but the Japanese were still prepared to use force to blackmail them in exchange for some commercial benefits. At the same time, there was an issue that came to the surface, and that was the issue of the Kanto Governor's Mansion, because currently the Kanto Governor's Mansion is

The army and the people caught him and still controlled Manchuria, he was like the emperor overseas.

The Japanese elders believed that this incident actually reflected the problem of the excessive power of the Kanto Governorate, so reforms were needed. Any reform was a redistribution of power. In short, the Japanese government fell into silence for the time being, and the pressure on Fengjun suddenly eased.

.

Zhang Tinglan had already commanded his men to launch a thorough cleanup of Fengcheng, detaining all the rebels. All Fang Wendong's close subordinates were arrested. These people will be severely punished. Even shot. As for the others,

Although you don’t have to worry about losing your head, you still have to pay a certain price.

His father, Zhang Zuoxiang, became the garrison of Dongbian Road. Zhang Tinglan was naturally obliged to help his father clean up the situation. There were quite a lot of old troops in the army of Dongbian Road, and their combat effectiveness was limited. This counterinsurgency has fully proved this, so for

It is imperative to reorganize the army.

We can just take advantage of this opportunity to kick out the rubbish from Fengjun's ranks. After the emperor and his courtiers kick out this bunch of rubbish, they will also leave the vacant positions for their own people.

"Captain Zhang, I heard that old guy Nakamura Kaku had a stroke. I haven't heard such good news in years." Xue Jintang said with a smile.

"The old guy's calculations were too clever, and he ended up taking Qing Qing's life. But this old guy is a Japanese general with a special status. This is a slap in the face of the Japanese. I'm afraid that from now on, there will be more problems with the Japanese.

A thorn in the side. And it’s hard to get rid of.”

"Captain Zhang, are you still ready to make peace with Japan? They encouraged Fang Wendong to rebel, but they bullied them right to the doorstep. It would be nice if we didn't slap them."

Zhang Tinglan smiled bitterly: "Commander Xue, Fengtian is still too weak and has to make do with the Japanese. But don't worry, sooner or later there will be a life and death battle between China and Japan to decide who is the master of Asia. This is a life and death battle."

.No one can escape.”

"I know that there is a blood feud between two generations. I have to avenge it. Sooner or later, I will have to settle the score with the little devil!"

"If you want to take revenge, you must first lower your head and assemble your army with force. As long as you have enough strength, even if you reach Tokyo, nothing is impossible."

When Xue Jintang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Captain Zhang, I actually know that the gap between China and Japan is too big. Do you think we can catch up?"

"Nothing is impossible. Japan has only been strong for a few years. In the past, they have always been our vassal country, and their economy is less than a fraction of ours. Now they have only been strong for a few decades. I don't know how high the sky and the earth are. Such a country does not have a long life."

Time is the fate of the country. We only need to work hard for twenty years to reorganize the army and develop industry. When the time comes, we will be able to compete with the Japanese, and even the time will be shorter."

The industrial gap between China and Japan is as big as heaven and earth, but Japan's strength is based on sucking the blood of China. When Japan becomes stronger, China becomes weaker by two points, so the gap is getting bigger and bigger. If Fengtian starts industrialization,

By competing with the Japanese for raw materials and markets, the situation will be reversed and China will become stronger and stronger, while Japan's development speed will drop significantly or even stagnate.

China will catch up with Japan at four times the current speed, and the gap between the two sides will quickly shorten. It can be said that once China's industry takes shape, Japan will be finished. Xue Jintang is not aware of these industrial competition issues, but he is still very excited.

"Twenty years is not a short time, but at that time, Old Xue was not yet fifty, and he was still able to charge into battle. If he can really enter Tokyo, this task must be given to me!"

"Commander Xue, whether you can receive this mission depends on your subsequent performance. The commander-in-chief has decided to reopen the martial arts hall. By then, we will all go in to study. Only if we pass the test can we lead troops again. If we fail,

The consequences are very serious.”

When Xue Jintang heard that he still wanted to study, a sad look appeared on his face. Although he was not afraid of anything, he was afraid of studying. When he saw those square words, he had a splitting headache.

"Commander Xue, I have to report to the commander-in-chief. You will be promoted to regimental commander soon. If you are still illiterate, you will not be able to command more than 2,000 people!"

Xue Jintang stood firmly on Zhang Tinglan's side this time. Not only did he help attack Fengcheng, but after killing Fang Wendong, he also stepped forward to help recruit garrisons from various places, making great contributions. Moreover, Zhang Tinglan was new to Dongbian Road.

He couldn't do without the original old man at all, and after some observation, Zhang Tinglan found that Xue Jintang was straightforward and frank, and he was a talent that could be made, so Zhang Tinglan had decided to take him under his wing.

"Future Commander Xue, just think of those square characters as Japanese people. If you learn one, you will kill one. Maybe it will be much easier."

After Zhang Tinglan was busy in Fengcheng, everything was almost done. At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang also rushed over with his troops. When the two men met, Zhang Zuoxiang pulled Zhang Tinglan to his side, patted him on the shoulder, and said with great emotion:

"Okay, okay, I'm no longer a child. I can pacify Liaonan without my father's help. It's great!"

"Dad, I'm not taking your credit, it's just that the situation is urgent and we have to divide our troops as soon as possible."

"Just grab it. Anyway, the more you do, the less I will have to worry about. Now you have earned this position as the Guardian of Dongbian Road!"

Sun Anhu on the side also smiled and said: "Young Master, we have been studying your tactics along the way. The fight was very good, the soldiers were very fast, and as fast as lightning, they eliminated all the rebels. We will also need to suppress the rebels in the future."

This way, there is nothing left for us at all!”

"There are internal and external troubles. If we don't cut the knot quickly, I'm afraid there will be more troubles. But we can't relax now. There are still many troops in the entire Dongbian Road who have not been sorted out. The defeated rebels may cause trouble to the place at any time."

"Leave it to me. If you eat the meat, give us some soup!" Sun Anhu took the initiative to ask for a fight, and Zhang Zuoxiang nodded in agreement. Zhang Tinglan's troops had gone through several battles and needed a period of rest. It was just right for Sun Anhu to lead the new force to the east.

Please clean it up properly.

Zhang Tinglan also agreed very much. He asked Xue Jintang and Sun Anhu to work together to stabilize the morale of the troops in various places, kill the rebels and bandits, and restore public order on the east side road. They all went to work.

Zhang Zuoxiang said with a smile: "Tinglan, have you gone to Uncle Ma?"

Zhang Tinglan shook his head with a wry smile: "Actually, we were able to successfully break through Fengcheng this time, thanks to Ma Longtan. It was him who climbed up and shouted, which completely destroyed the morale of the rebel army. But then Ma Longtan hid in the mansion, and I went to visit him.

I tried several times but were not allowed in at all.”

"Hey, Brother Ma has been both civil and military all his life. He is much more rough and strong than us elders. But as he gets older, he suffers such a big loss. He is betrayed by his trusted subordinates and becomes a prisoner. I feel bad for sure.

Yes, let’s all be brothers, I’ll go see him.”

Zhang Tinglan accompanied Zhang Zuoxiang to Ma Longtan's house. It happened that the door of the house opened at this time, and an old man in a green hat walked out with the support of several attendants. Zhang Zuoxiang recognized it at a glance. This old man was Ma Longtan.

Longtan took a few steps in a hurry.

"Brother Ma, the Prime Minister is here to see you!"

When Ma Longtan raised his head, he also saw Zhang Zuoxiang. He let out a long sigh, his old face full of sorrow: "Fu Chen, I have lost your master this time. How can I survive in Fengtian? I will resign and return to my hometown.

Yi Nongsun, from now on the east side road will be handed over to you."

"Brother, please don't think so. Everyone has misjudged someone. I am the acting guardian. The rebels have been wiped out, and you still need to take care of the east side road."

Ma Longtan shook his head: "I never thought that I would raise a white-eyed wolf. It doesn't matter that this evil wolf is ambitious. He also forgets his ancestors, colludes with the Japanese, and wants to be a traitor. I'm not blind."

Ermu, why do you still have the face to hang around? Fuchen, don’t say anything, I’ve already decided to go, no need to persuade me!”

Ma Longtan turned around and saw Zhang Tinglan again. A smile appeared on his old face: "Zhu Yan is a promising child with a bright future. Work hard!" After Ma Longtan finished speaking, he got on the carriage and drove away.

As soon as he left, Zhang Zuoxiang became the legitimate guardian of Dongbian Road and the real number two figure under Lao Zhang. Just when Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan were reorganizing Dongbian Road, news suddenly came from Beijing that Yuan Shikai announced his abdication.

An emperor's dream that lasted for eighty-three days was completely over.

"Dad, Emperor Hong Xian is finished. There is no one in the world who can control the overall situation. Neither Duan Qirui nor Feng Guozhang, nor Sun Wen from the south, have the ability to unify the country. From then on, the world has entered The Spring and Autumn Period!"
