Soldiers following him were shot to death one after another. Gao Shibi felt a chill coming from the back of his head. No one could tell whether the next bullet would fall on his head. Judging from the current situation, as long as it fell on Feng Jun
In his hands, he would definitely not end well. Gao Shibi thought about it and decided to run away quickly.
However, these chariots were like dog-skin plaster and could not be moved away at all. There were obstacles in front, and the pursuers behind were about to kill them. They really forced Gao Shibi to a dead end. However, as he ran, Gao Shibi found that there was no way ahead.
There is a dense jungle far away. The current season is when the vegetation is lush and green. Once you get inside, those pesky chariots will be unable to stop it.
Therefore, as if Gao Shibi had grasped a life-saving straw, he ordered his men to continue moving forward as a cover, and then he quietly sneaked into the woods to escape. After entering the dense forest, the war horse was useless, so Gao Shibi had to run on two legs.
, one foot is deep and the other is shallow, there are many mosquitoes in the mountains, there are also deadly black bears and tigers, there are poisonous snakes hidden in the dark, and there is murderous intent everywhere.
After Gao Shibi ran in, his men also discovered it, and some of them also ran in, but most of them chose to surrender. The risk of entering the mountain was still too great, and Fengjun would not have to fight with a bunch of big guys.
The army was in dire straits, so these people took the initiative to become bandits.
"Commander, the results of the battle have been calculated. We killed more than 600 of Gao Shibi's men and captured more than 800 of them. In addition, most of the Ji army collapsed and fled everywhere. Should we continue the pursuit?"
Sun Anhu asked Zhang Zuoxiang for instructions. Zhang Zuoxiang thought for a while and then said: "If we are defeated, we will not be threatened for the time being. It is important to march to Changchun as soon as possible. We must put strong pressure on Meng Enyuan. Only when the army reaches Changchun can those forces who are dissatisfied with Meng Enyuan
Everyone jumped out."
After Zhang Zuoxiang issued the order, Fengjun took a short rest and continued to advance. Originally, Gao Shibi had deployed defenses between Gongzhuling and Yitong, hoping to stop Fengjun. But now the leader has disappeared, and his life or death is uncertain, not to mention the people below.
They have no fighting spirit, and their defenses are too loose and their troops are not strong enough.
After being blasted by Feng Jun's artillery, they all fled in all directions. Zhang Zuoxiang led the army to Kuanchengzi without any hindrance. At this time, as soon as the business people in Changchun heard that Feng Jun was close at hand, they immediately stiffened.
They organized themselves one after another, went out of the city to labor, and brought Zhang Zuoxiang's army into Changchun.
Feng Jun quickly defeated Gao Shibi. News of the troops' march into Changchun spread quickly, and the reactions from all parties were very different. After Zhang Zuolin received the report, he was naturally very excited and praised him repeatedly.
"The battle was quick and decisive. Fu Chen hit it just right. Now we have the initiative in our hands."
"That's right, Marshal, Gao Shibi has nearly 10,000 troops. They are all the elite forces of the Jilin army. Now they are beaten to a pulp. Meng Enyuan doesn't have any trump cards in his hand. I think we should attack Jilin directly. Take the provincial capital.
Once we get it, the whole of Jilin will be our world." Zhang Jinghui said loudly, with full joy in his tone. Among these old brothers, his position is considered to be the lowest, and he will not be promoted in a short time.
Maybe, if Jilin is captured and Zhang Zuoxiang is promoted, he can take a step forward. Zhang Jinghui thinks about the relationship very clearly.
But Sun Liechen on the side shook his head: "Commander, I heard that the Japanese have gathered troops in Changchun and warned us not to exchange fire in the annex. If a shell falls on the annex, they will take action."
Action has been taken. Moreover, they are seriously concerned about the safety signs of Japanese expatriates and want to send soldiers to protect the expatriates. I think the Japanese do not want us to continue fighting."
"That's right, if the fight continues, Meng Enyuan's power in Jilin will fall apart." Yang Yuting said: "Commander, I think it's better to advance as soon as possible, capture Jilin with lightning speed, and drive Meng Enyuan away, otherwise we will kill people and rebel.
If we become enemies, Meng Enyuan will definitely fight against us in the future."
Zhang Zuolin rolled his eyes, nodded, and shook his head: "Meng Enyuan does need to be captured, but we can't just rely on fighting. This is the behavior of a reckless man. Besides, our financial resources are not enough to rectify Jilin. This is Min
The source is the clearest."
Wang Yongjiang hurriedly said at the side: "Commander Mingjian, after Fengtian's fiscal deficit has reached tens of millions over the years, we need to develop education, develop agriculture, and invest in industry. Each of these is a huge investment. For the time being, Fengtian will never be able to come up with enough money.
.”
At this time, Zhang Zuolin was obviously very clear-headed, aware of Fengtian's financial problems, and did not rely on force blindly. This made Zhang Tinglan very happy. No matter how strong his foundation was, he could not withstand the temptation. Historically, Lao Zhang just wasted precious military and financial resources.
In order to fight for hegemony, Fengjun's vitality was severely damaged, and finally he lost the three eastern provinces.
It would be very good if Lao Zhang could realize this, but Zhang Tinglan was still a little unwilling. He didn't want to miss this good opportunity to occupy Jilin, so he said: "Commander, if you take military expenses into consideration, I don't think it is necessary. We
You can use the future trade tax revenue between Kyrgyzstan and Fenghuang as a guarantee to get a loan from a bank, and it will not be a problem to get three to five million."
According to Zhang Tinglan's wishful thinking, as long as Meng Enyuan is captured, the business exchanges between Jilin and Fengcheng will definitely be closer, and the tax revenue will be doubled. It will also be a good opportunity for expansion for the industrial group, so there is nothing wrong with taking the initiative to bear military expenses.
Not possible.
The smile on Lao Zhang's face did not diminish: "I'd like to say that I really have a good way to make money, but three to five million is not enough. Lao Duan has already taken action."
During the fighting between Ji and Feng, Duan Qirui, the new prime minister, could not sit idly by. On the contrary, he was seriously dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin for provoking the war and expanding his territory. He mobilized three armies, one of which was Xu Lanzhou of Heilongjiang, and asked him to lead troops from the direction of Heilongjiang.
, approaching Changchun and directly inserting the retreat of Zhang Zuoxiang's troops.
In addition, Zhang Xun, the patrol envoy of Mongolia, was asked to take action. The braided army went north to threaten Fengtian's flanks. At the same time, they mobilized troops within the pass to approach Shanhaiguan. These three armies attacked from three directions, and their deterrence was still very strong, but there were
It is a pity that the mobilization speed of these armies is far slower than that of Fengjun. Before they could complete their mobilization, Fengjun had already defeated Gao Shibi and captured the Changchun line.
Another point is Zhang Xun. This old guy just took office as the patrol envoy to Mongolia. Originally he only controlled one city in Xuzhou, but now he controls three provinces. It seems that the power in his hands is expanding very quickly, but the old guy is suffering.
Knowing that the combined tax revenue of these three provinces was not much more than that of Xuzhou, and that there were more places to spend money, and he had to face harassment from Mongolian bandits, Zhang Xun said he had been deceived.
As a result, Fengtian threw an olive branch to Zhang Xun at this time. The two parties joined forces to engage in smuggling and develop border trade. Fengtian Bank agreed to pay Zhang Xun two million yuan in advance, which immediately relieved Zhang Xun's urgent need and allowed him to quickly sort out the problems in the three provinces.
situation, so Zhang Xun was grateful to Zhang Zuolin.
Zhang Xun acquiesced to Kan Chaoxi's post in Chifeng, and of course he would have to give him a share of Chifeng's taxes in the future. After receiving Lao Duan's order this time, although Zhang Xun also mobilized troops to respond, he secretly told Zhang Zuolin the news.
Let him be prepared.
"Although Zhang Xun won't really fight with us, we have to guard against Lao Duan's actions."
Having said this, Zhang Tinglan also completely woke up. It is true that relying on force alone will definitely not work. Zhang Tinglan also noticed Lao Zhang at this time. It seemed that Marshal Zhang did not have too many worries. Instead, he looked confident. It seemed that
Most likely Zhang Zuolin already had a way to deal with it, so Zhang Tinglan simply stopped talking.
Lao Zhang is becoming more and more powerful. Sometimes he has to know how to advance and retreat. In front of a large audience, he must give Lao Zhang enough opportunities to show his inscrutableness.
Zhang Zuolin glanced at his favorite generals, and then said: "You all perform your duties. In addition, I would like to encourage the business community in Jilin to jointly submit a letter to Beiyang to replace Meng Enyuan. You will also mobilize public opinion to punish these evil deeds."
All the people in the industry were moved out, causing his reputation to be ruined and his prestige to be ruined."
After Lao Zhang finished his instructions, everyone dispersed. As soon as Zhang Tinglan left the Tiger Hall, she bumped into Zhang Xueliang.
"Student Zhang Hanqing, if I remember correctly, today is not a day for rest. You ran home. Tell me, what kind of punishment do you want?"
Zhang Xueliang immediately said with a playful smile: "I'm sorry, I'm not playing truant, my father asked me to come back."
"Oh? Since when did the commander become so easy to talk to? Are you lying?"
"How can I have the courage? To tell you the truth, my eldest sister and brother-in-law are here, and my father asked me to go home to accompany the guests."
At this point, Zhang Tinglan remembered that Zhang Xueliang had a sister who was three years older than him, named Zhang Shoufang. Zhang Zuolin's first wife Zhao passed away a few years ago, and Zhang Shoufang's sister took on the mission of taking care of her brother.
Sister, she is actually half a mother.
Later, Zhang Shoufang also got married, and his son-in-law was Bao Yinglin, the son of Bao Guiqing, the son of Zhang Zuolin and the current director of the Beijing Martial Arts Hall. Now that the young couple came home, they really needed to be well entertained.
But after Zhang Tinglan heard the news, his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally thought about what Lao Zhang was planning. Since Lao Zhang was not going to fight and wanted to capture Meng Enyuan, he had to find a suitable successor, especially
He is a candidate that Duan Qirui can recognize.
Bao Guiqing and Zhang Zuolin are fellow villagers, and the relationship between the two families is very close. Zhang Zuolin's mother and Bao Guiqing's mother even helped each other breastfeed their children. They also grew up with bare buttocks. But later Zhang Zuolin fell into disgrace, while Bao Guiqing defected to Beiyang.
, became a member of Beiyang.
The contact between the two parties has not been interrupted, and the child has been married early. When it comes to intimacy, Bao Guiqing is no worse than Zhang Zuolin's sworn brothers. Bao Guiqing was born in Beiyang, and is the son and daughter of Lao Zhang. He can indeed make everyone
A good choice for Fang to accept.
Zhang Tinglan had the idea in mind, and a smile appeared on his face: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for several years. I should also go and see Shoufang!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better and more updated novels. quick!
