Bao Guiqing's attitude undoubtedly cast a layer of unhappiness in Lao Zhang's heart. In fact, Zhang Zuolin believed that Bao Guiqing was his childhood friend and his in-laws, and now he praised him like this. If Bao Guiqing was smart enough, he should be honest and obedient, but Zhang Zuolin followed suit.
As a result, this is not the case at all.
Bao Guiqing probably had selfish motives and small calculations. He was not willing to be Lao Zhang's subordinate, but wanted to be similar to Meng Enyuan, a warlord on an equal footing.
This just hit Zhang Zuolin's lungs. You must know that Zhang Zuolin abandoned his old brother who was in front and behind, and promoted Bao Guiqing. Although he considered Beiyang's attitude, he was also under pressure. Sun Liechen, Wu Junsheng, and Zhang Zuoxiang had all been in front and behind for many years.
Already have sufficient qualifications and prestige.
As a result, Lao Zhang surpassed them and appointed Bao Guiqing, who was estranged from him. Doesn't this appear to be Lao Zhang's incompetence? However, Zhang Zuolin has long since learned to conceal his attitude. He laughs and curses with every gesture, making it difficult for others to see what he is thinking.
Come.
When his face was hot from drinking, Zhang Zuolin suddenly said: "My dear, there are few people in Jilin's small land, and it is empty everywhere. This is not good. I have asked Zhuoyan to manage the reclamation and immigration affairs a few days ago.
, Our two provinces are like one family, and we should not forget our in-laws when good things happen. From now on, all the border areas between Jilin and Fengcheng will be included in the reclamation area, and they will be developed together, and everyone will share the benefits together."
When Zhang Zuolin said this, he had an irrefutable tone that did not tolerate any objection. Bao Guiqing could not refuse at all. But he also saw through the nature of reclamation. What are the benefits? Let's enjoy it together. It was clearly that the southern part of Jilin was
All were brought under Fengjun's control.
Moreover, this was Zhang Zuolin's warning to let him know who was in charge and who was in charge. Bao Guiqing refused, but in the end he endured it. The meal was an anticlimax, and by the end, everyone present was thinking about their own plans.
The taste is gone.
Two days later, Zhang Zuolin asked Sun Liechen to command the troops, escort Bao Guiqing to Jilin, and drive Meng Enyuan out completely.
While Fengtian was busy working here, Zhang Zuoxiang in Changchun was not idle either. To be honest, ever since he entered Jilin, Zhang Zuoxiang had some thoughts on the position of the governor. He was not doing it for himself, but thinking about Zhang Tinglan.
My son is capable and capable, but if he is in Fengtian and has a lot of people over his head, he will not feel comfortable doing anything. If he can own a province, Zhang Tinglan will have a sufficient stage.
But things went against expectations. In the end, Lao Zhang chose Bao Guiqing. Zhang Zuoxiang had no choice but to do the next best thing. He used this period of time to do a lot of tricks in secret. The first was to win over the Jilin Chamber of Commerce. Zhang Zuoxiang defeated Gao Shibi and rescued them.
These people were grateful to Zhang Zuoxiang.
Therefore, Zhang Zuoxiang tried his best to promote their cooperation with the Fengtian Industrial Group and tied them to Zhang Tinglan's chariot. In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang also captured a large number of Ji soldiers. He selected some of them who were capable and bought them all first.
Then he was put back under Meng Enyuan to serve as an internal agent.
These people will always be lurking in the Ji army. If there is any disturbance in the Ji army in the future, they will not be able to escape Zhang Zuoxiang's surveillance. Moreover, Zhang Zuoxiang met with Guo Zongxi again. The Guo family's Shaoguo was originally responsible for providing spirits to the Russians. Now,
Fengtian Xingye Company took a direct stake in it, helping them expand their production capacity, and at the same time open up relations with Russia, so that they could confidently and boldly smuggle to Russia and make huge profits.
This alone more than doubled the Guo family's income in a year. Both brothers Guo Zongxi and Guo Zongsheng were grateful to Zhang Zuoxiang and expressed their loyalty to them.
After making these arrangements, Zhang Zuoxiang felt a little sure. Even if Bao Guiqing took control of Jilin, the Zhang family and his son had their own people in the military, political and business circles. If there were any changes in the future, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan would be able to take the lead.
.
At this time, Sun Liechen escorted Bao Guiqing to Changchun. The two armies merged and immediately launched an attack on the Jilin provincial capital. Meng Enyuan panicked in the city, his mouth was full of blisters from worry, his eyes were red, and his voice had long been mute.
Just two days ago, my nephew Gao Shibi ran out of the mountains and fled back to Jilin. This time he almost killed half of Gao Shibi's life. He was also completely listless. Although he was a little unconvinced, Feng Jun also
It left an indelible impression on him.
"Wuru, didn't you say that there is nothing to fear from the army? I will give you ten thousand soldiers, can you repel them?" Meng Enyuan held his nephew's hand tightly. Now he was desperate. He was looking forward to Gao Shi.
The best man could nod confidently and give him a little hope, but he was still disappointed.
"Uncle, if you are a well-trained veteran, you can still fight. But if you send those new soldiers up, you will only be in trouble and have little chance of winning!"
When Meng Enyuan heard this, all his strength seemed to be drained from his body, and he sat blankly on the Taishi chair. At this time, Wu Tai'an ran in. This old man was lucky and did not die in the chaos. After returning to Jilin,
Meng Enyuan had no doubts and continued to reuse him.
At this time, Wu Tai'an ran over holding a telegram and said breathlessly: "Commander, Bao Guiqing sent you a telegram. He advised you to give up resistance. He said he was willing to protect your personal and property safety, and also
You can keep your subordinates as much as possible, as long as you hand over the handsome seal, everything will be easy."
When Meng Enyuan heard this, he sat up suddenly, grabbed the telegram, read it again and again carefully, and then looked slumped.
"Old Wu, do you also suggest that I agree to Bao Guiqing's conditions?"
"Commander, the matter has come to this, and it is really irreversible. If we continue to resist, if the army comes to kill us, we will all perish. Bao Guiqing is still an old man from Beiyang, and he will not kill everyone. You can still leave some confidants in Jilin, as long as there is a chance.
, you can still make a comeback and take charge of Jilin again."
Meng Enyuan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said: "Old Wu, could this be a trap? Bao Guiqing asked me to give up my resistance, and then dealt with all my subordinates?"
"I don't think so, Marshal. To be honest, I think Bao Guiqing also has his own little plan. He is not willing to be Zhang Zuolin's puppet, so he will definitely try to gather the old troops in Jilin and use this power to fight against Zhang Zuolin.
, fight for a certain amount of independent power!”
After Wu Tai'an finished speaking, Meng Enyuan thought for a long time and nodded: "Old Wu, what you said makes sense. Now that we are hungry, we can only take advantage of Bao Guiqing. I will go back to Tianjin to live in seclusion, but you don't move and stay here.
Jilin, as long as there is a chance, I will fight back!"
Meng Enyuan left Jilin with full of unwillingness, Bao Guiqing successfully took over Jilin, and Zhang Zuolin took another firm step on the road to dominate the three eastern provinces.
Soon the time came to May 27th. The younger brother of Emperor Taisho of Japan, Prince Kanin Miya Zaihito, came from Petrograd for a visit. He happened to pass through Fengtian along the way. This was a big shot in the Japanese royal family. Fengtian must give him enough support.
Courtesy.
Zhang Zuolin also went to greet him personally, and Zhang Tinglan also joined in the fun. This time he rode out Liu Guang. Liu Guang was nearly two years old, and his body was getting taller. He was nearly 1.6 meters from hoof to back. He was taller than most people now.
Tall, with his head held high, he is over two meters tall.
The pale golden fur became more and more shiny, and the whole body was shining with golden light. It was full of energy. After everyone saw it, they couldn't help but admire it. This was simply not a war horse in the world, but a divine horse in the sky.
Many people in the Fengjun army are good horses. When they see Liuguang, they can't help drooling. In fact, Zhang Tinglan also had his own purpose in riding Liuguang. The Japanese improved the Oriental horses by introducing superior breeds. These horses
Compared with China's Mongolian horses, many Japanese people hope to show off their power by riding Oriental horses.
Zhang Tinglan rode Liuguang out just to kill their majesty. No matter how good the Japanese horses are, they are far inferior to the authentic sweat-blooded horses. As soon as Liuguang appears, those Japanese horses become stars in the sky. How many
No one cares if one is missing.
In order to catch a glimpse of the emperor's younger brother, all the prominent Japanese people in Fengtian gathered together. However, the dignified prince had not yet appeared. As soon as Liu Guang passed by in front of everyone, he stole all the limelight. Many Japanese officers could not even take a glance.
He blinked and stared at the flowing light, drooling all over the floor.
He wasn't even interested in listening to the prince's speech. Prince Xianyuan Palace's reputation was also quite high. After a few brief remarks, he left Fengtian without even getting off the train. On the way back, Zhang Zuolin was still a little confused.
Complain.
"Damn it, don't we show our warm faces to others' cold butts? We want to give them face, but it turns out that these Japanese people don't know how to make faces!"
"Thirty years to Hedong and thirty to Hexi. In the future, the Japanese may kneel in front of you and beg for mercy!"
"Hahaha, I've been waiting for this day!"
As he spoke, Lao Zhang urged his horse to move forward, but Liu Guang suddenly accelerated his pace and overran Lao Zhang's horse in an instant. Not to mention, Liu Guang stretched out his big mouth to bite Lao Zhang's horse.
The meaning is very clear, that is, let this war horse go to the back obediently, and the first position should be reserved for him.
Seeing Liu Guang's childish behavior, Zhang Tinglan also looked helpless. Even if you are more expensive than Lao Zhang's war horse, who can't do it for your master?
Lao Zhang didn't pay much attention to it, and just said: "I'd like to say that when dealing with war horses, you can't just be nice to them, but also beat them. Only by giving them a good lesson can you be obedient."
Liu Guang seemed to understand what Lao Zhang said. He stared at Lao Zhang with big eyes and let out an unfriendly neigh. Looking at the horse's human side, Lao Zhang couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, a dark object was suddenly thrown from the restaurant on the roadside, and it hit Lao Zhang and Zhang Tinglan directly. At this time, the guards screamed in secret, but they had no time to react.
Everyone was stunned.
However, Liu Guang suddenly exerted force on his waist, and his huge body turned at a very weird angle, and then kicked out his two hind legs extremely quickly, just in time to hit the object thrown at him. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature,
