After Kawashima Naniwa finished speaking, Katsuda Nakamichi also said: "I completely agree with Mr. Kawashima. Zhang Zuolin is an extremely dangerous person. He is very different from ordinary Chinese gangsters. Zhang Zuolin does not only know how to lead troops to fight.
A reckless man. He knows the power of finance and is extremely concerned about rural issues. You must know that the rise and fall of China for thousands of years have been closely related to the countryside. From all angles, Zhang Zuolin is the most far-sighted local leader.
, once it develops, it will definitely become a major obstacle to the empire."
Everyone present also nodded, and they very much agreed with this judgment. After hearing this, Okura Kihachiro nodded and said: "We can no longer give Zhang Zuolin time to develop. We must win him as soon as possible. Even if the country does not support it, we must
Take action. Only true warriors can take on this mission. Mr. Kawashima, do you have a suitable candidate?"
Kawashima Naniwa hurriedly said: "Okura-kun, don't worry, two young officers of the Kwantung Army, Junnosuke Date and Yutaka Nakamura, have taken the lead in forming the Manchu and Mongolian Death Group. They are willing to use their lives to assassinate Zhang Zuolin.
His Majesty the Emperor sacrifices himself!"
The duty of the military is to obey orders and prohibitions. At the same time, soldiers cannot interfere in politics. However, Japan's middle and lower-level officers are proud of their rebellion, and they are also actively involved in politics that they are not good at. The private formation of the Manchu and Mongolian Death Regiment is an example.
Since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army has gained supreme glory and power. At the same time, it has also lost restraint and control like a wild dog on the loose. The minds of the middle and lower-level officers are all dedicated to the emperor and the conquest of Manchuria and Mongolia.
Ideas like enslaving China.
This group of fanatical officers did not realize their madness at all, nor did they realize that their actions would lead Japan into an abyss of eternal destruction. On the contrary, they still believed that they were for the future of Japan. As the saying goes, Xiao He loses Xiao He. Fanaticism
The enthusiasm of militarism allowed the small island country to defeat two powerful enemies, but the gambler will eventually lose the bet!
Of course, Okura Kihachiro could not have imagined these things. As a veteran chaebol, Okura did not have such fanatical respect for the emperor. What could make him crazy was only profit. The Liaonan rebellion caused him heavy losses, and then he was given a
Remember the loud slap.
Not only did they fail to catch evidence of Zhang Zuolin's smuggling, but they also discarded Meng Enyuan's card. If they want to expand their economic interests in Jilin in the future, they will definitely be affected. Okura has regarded Zhang Zuolin as the biggest stumbling block and wants to get rid of it.
Then quickly. As for Kawashima Naniwa and those young officers, they were just pawns in his hands.
"Mr. Kawashima, do you have a detailed plan?"
"We are initially planning to take action on May 27th. On this day, Prince Hanyin Palace Zairen will return to Japan from Petrograd. Zhang Zuolin will definitely return to the station to greet him. At this time, we can ambush and kill Zhang Zuolin in one fell swoop.
.”
Since Zhang Zuolin had a conflict with the Japanese, he has paid great attention to all actions. It can be said that he goes deep and simple, and has many guards around him. After Wang Yongjiang took charge of government affairs, he handed over the police to Su Liangzhen. Su Liangzhen was very capable, and he
Fengtian built it from top to bottom like iron, and it is impermeable to wind and rain.
Under such circumstances, it was definitely not an easy task to assassinate Zhang Zuolin. Kawashima Naniwa and the others had wanted to do so for a long time, and they could only take advantage of the opportunity when the emperor's younger brother passed by Fengtian to attack Lao Zhang.
After hearing this, Kihachiro Okura nodded: "This is a good time. There is still half a month left. You need to let those warriors train quickly and not relax. I will provide them with financial help!"
With Okura's guarantee, Kawashima Naniwa was immediately overjoyed and went to arrange it.
These guys were secretly discussing here, but Lao Zhang didn't know it. He was still immersed in joy. The strong public opinion offensive made Duan Qirui finally relent, and he had initially agreed to let Bao Guiqing serve as the governor of Jilin and transfer Meng Enyuan back to Beijing.
The successful takeover of Jilin by the relatives is equivalent to opening the door of Jilin to Fengjun. Lao Zhang has long had the ambition to annex the three eastern provinces, but he did not expect that the speed would be so fast. He had just unified Fengtian, and then captured Jilin.
As long as the time is right, if we take Heilongjiang into our hands, we will become the true king of the Northeast.
"Commander, Meng Enyuan still refuses to hand over his command seal and is gathering the remaining troops to prepare for a desperate resistance. What do you think we should do?"
Yang Yuting reported the news he had just received to Lao Zhang. Zhang Zuolin smiled and cursed: "Damn it, Meng Enyuan is still a bit bloody, but he can't even think of fighting us. A regiment is transferred from the Cavalry Division, and the 27th Division is also
Deploy a regiment, plus a brigade led by Fu Chen, and we will gather 10,000 troops to escort my old relatives to Kyrgyzstan. Meng Enyuan still wants to stop him and will kill him!"
Lao Zhang is also a decisive person. Once he decides to take action, he will never be polite. Fengtian received Zhang Zuolin's order and hurriedly mobilized troops. In addition to preparing the army, Zhang Zuolin also asked Zhang Tinglan to help Zhang Luo 200
Wan Dayang's loan.
This money was used as a reserve fund to buy off the Jijun army and appease the local area, and Jilin's tax revenue was used as a guarantee. Zhang Tinglan was in favor of this kind of loan. Bao Guiqing got an advantage this time, but Zhang Tinglan couldn't get any benefits.
With just this loan, Zhang Tinglan was able to blatantly use economic means to control Jilin, and even find ways to sideline Bao Guiqing. It all depends on whether the new Marshal Bao is smart enough.
Zhang Zuolin had almost prepared everything, and Bao Guiqing finally got the official appointment and became the governor of Jilin. After Lao Duan came to power, he was brewing reforms. It turned out that Lao Yuan was engaged in the general government system, and the governors of each province were appointed by the feudal officials.
He became a dispatch officer of the central government.
However, Lao Duan found that the effect was still very limited, and the local princes were still getting more and more powerful. Therefore, Duan Qirui decided to implement the system of military governors and provincial governors. The military governors were in charge of military affairs, and the provincial governors were in charge of civil affairs. This formed mutual constraints, and Bao Guiqing became the third.
A warlord.
He went all the way north from Beijing and received a warm welcome. In the past two years, Bao Guiqing has been managing the Beijing Martial Arts Hall and has actually been marginalized. Now that he has made a comeback and risen to the top in one step, he has directly become a prince. He is still extremely proud.
But what followed was full of distress. As a military governor, he was caught between Beiyang and his in-laws. Bao Guiqing was in a bit of a dilemma as to where to go.
His special train soon arrived at Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin led his civil and military officials to greet Bao Guiqing at the station. The two had grown up together, and were sons and daughters. Now they are both feudal officials of the same province. After meeting each other,
They were also very emotional. Holding hands, they boarded the carriage together and returned to the handsome manor.
That night, Lao Zhang prepared a warm welcome banquet. All the high-ranking officials in Fengtian gathered together and exchanged glasses. The atmosphere was very warm. After Lao Zhang drank two glasses of wine, he took Bao Guiqing's hand and said, "My dear, you go this time."
Jilin, you can rest assured, if you want guns and money, if Meng Enyuan doesn't know what's going on, you can kill him with just a wave of your hand, no need to be polite at all."
"The Yuting Bingfeng is pointing at an overwhelming force. All the people in the army are capable warriors. I know this very well." Bao Guiqing complimented a few words, then changed the topic and continued: "But after all, Meng Enyuan is
The old man from Beiyang has been an official in the same dynasty for many years. We have to give him a way to survive. He has to be merciful and merciful, don't you think?"
When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he felt a little unhappy. Fengjun used his strength to capture Meng Enyuan, and then Lao Zhang pulled Bao Guiqing up from the bench and asked him to take over Jilin. It can be said that Lao Zhang was extremely benevolent, but Bao Guiqing ended up
Are you still speaking for Meng Enyuan because you want to please both sides? Don’t forget who gave you this position!
Although Lao Zhang was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face. He was still talking and laughing. When he talked about being happy, Wang Yongjiang suddenly picked up his wine glass, toasted Bao Guiqing with a glass of wine, and then said: "Shuai Bao, you
He Yushuai is a good friend of Qin and Jin. In the future, our two provinces should do the same, take care of each other and help each other. Compared with Fengtian, Jilin is slightly behind. I suggest that the two sides should fully cooperate and exchange what they have to benefit the two provinces.
common people.”
Wang Yongjiang raised the issue of cooperation at the wine table. It seemed casual, but in fact it had a profound meaning. Bao Guiqing's military governor was defeated by Feng Jun. Fengtian's efforts made Bao Guiqing famous, so he should hand over the benefits.
Give it to Fengtian. If Fengtian has no benefit, wouldn’t he become a stupid boy?
Zhang Zuolin also knew that, as the saying goes, brothers settle accounts clearly, this kind of thing really needs to be explained clearly, so Lao Zhang smiled and said: "In-laws, we should really help each other, what do you think?"
"Of course it's the best. Now Jilin is in dire need of development and is in urgent need of Fengtian's help. To be honest, I was just thinking about alms on the way here!"
"Haha, dear, Zhuo Yan and I discussed it and asked Fengtian Bank to provide you with a loan of two million yuan, mainly to reorganize the army and restore local security. Do you think it is enough?"
Bao Guiqing thought for a while and said: "Yuting, the main force of the Kyrgyz army suffered a lot this time. If you want to recover quickly, you will need a lot of financial resources. I think it must be at least five million?"
This amount was indeed a bit unexpected for Zhang Zuolin. He was a little embarrassed. Wang Yongjiang suddenly spoke: "Bao Marshal, I have an idea. You are trying to see if it works. It is to mortgage Jilin's official bank account.
In the future, Jilin and Fengtian will have the same pass-through system, and exchanges between the two provinces will be convenient in the future. If we are integrated financially and monetaryally, it will be much easier to borrow money."
When Bao Guiqing heard this, there was a hint of astonishment on his face. He had been an official for so many years and he didn't know what was going on. Why did Meng Enyuan go to war with Zhang Zuolin? It wasn't because Lao Zhang wanted to use other people's currency power.
If it is handed over to Zhang Zuolin, it will completely become Lao Zhang's subordinate and follower.
"Don't be too hasty in everything. I think it's better to understand the people's sentiments first. As for the army, there is no rush to reorganize it. Two million is enough!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little strange. Lao Zhang suddenly laughed and said: "My dear relatives, I will arrange for you to be sent to Jilin for a post first. We will talk about other things later. Let's put this piece of meat in a bowl first." Inside!" (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
