Gao Xiaoshan ran to Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin thought he was going to buy more arms. But after meeting, Lao Zhang understood what was going on. He was here to collect debts and asked Fengjun to hand over all the arms to the pigtail as soon as possible.
military.
Gao Xiaoshan spent more than three million and handed over a large area of grassland. He was happily waiting for the arms, but Zhang Tinglan only handed him five thousand rifles without a single bullet.
Fire sticks were given, and in addition, only 10,000 grenades were handed over, ten Type 41 mountain guns were given, and other machine guns and mortars were not given at all.
When he first returned to Rehe, Gao Xiaoshan kept bragging to Zhang Xun about how many good things he had bought and how sophisticated Fengjun's arms were. Zhang Xun was also very happy. While he was waiting for the arms, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui
There was a complete falling out, and Duan Qirui left Tianjin to prepare to establish a new government. This was a huge matter, and Zhang Xun had to pay attention to it.
At this time, Duan Qirui's men suddenly sent an invitation to Zhang Xun, hoping that he could come forward to mediate the dispute between the government and the court. After Zhang Xun heard the news, he was overjoyed.
Even though Zhang Xungui was the patrol envoy of Mongolia, he had long been disgusted with this ungrateful place, and Zhang Xun had other thoughts in his heart. Zhang Xun had always regarded the Manchu and Qing Dynasties as
He considers himself a loyal minister, and all his troops have whips, and a large group of old and young people are buzzing around him. People like Kang Youwei are in frequent contact with him, and they have never given up their evil intentions.
This battle between the government and the court gave Zhang Xun a glimmer of hope. Since the democratic republic system could not be played, it was better to return to the emperor's rule. If Yuan Shikai failed to become emperor, then the young emperor Puyi would be restored. Zhang Xun gradually felt sad in his heart.
This idea came up. This time Duan Qirui hinted that he would intervene, which gave Zhang Xun a God-given opportunity. Bianshuai immediately became active.
Whether it is mediating conflicts or restoring the monarchy, strength is needed. Zhang Xun had soldiers in his hands, but there was a serious shortage of weapons. At this time, Zhang Xun thought of Fengtian's arms.
When he saw that only a few things had been delivered, Zhang Xun was furious on the spot. The total of these things was less than one million yuan. The original purchase price was not low, but in the end, they were tricked. Bianshuai was going crazy.
, Gao Xiaoshan could only roll and crawl to Fengtian, begging for other arms.
After listening to Gao Xiaoshan's narration, Lao Zhang secretly applauded Zhang Tinglan. The two of them started killing people. They were never merciless. Lao Zhang gave Li Yuanhong a hard blow. At first, he complained that Zhang Xun got an advantage. But now
Only then did I realize that Zhang Tinglan was ruthless behind the scenes. After receiving the money, he just refused to deliver the goods. Isn’t this a waste of money? He doesn’t trick people like this!
Lao Zhang deliberately pretended to be angry. He called Zhang Tinglan over, and Lao Zhang said angrily with a tigerish face: "I'm sorry, how did this happen? Integrity is the most important thing in our business, why haven't we handed over the arms yet?"
?”
Zhang Tinglan was calm and composed, not in any hurry, and said with a smile: "Commander, I think Mr. Gao has misunderstood. Feng Jun has always strictly followed the contract and has done nothing wrong."
Having said this, Zhang Tinglan said to Gao Xiaoshan: "Mr. Gao, the Fengtian arms you bought are different from the arms obtained from foreigners. The foreigners ship the finished products and can deliver them directly. Our Fengtian arms
It needs to be re-produced. I made it clear to you that it will take at least two months to deliver. And you have never used mortars and other weapons before. I also asked you to send people over to learn how to operate them. The personnel are stepping up their efforts.
Training, is it useful to hand over the weapons to you now?"
Facing Zhang Tinglan's question, Gao Xiaoshan was stunned. The agreement did indeed stipulate this, and he had nothing to say. But now the situation has suddenly changed, and the braided army is in urgent need of entering Beijing. What will they do without weapons?
Gao Xiaoshan was so anxious that he was spinning around on the ground, sweating on his forehead. He knew very well what Zhang Xun was thinking. If such a good opportunity was lost because of weapons, Zhang Xun could skin him.
"Yushuai, no matter what you think of, we must get the arms as soon as possible!"
Zhang Zuolin glanced at Zhang Tinglan and thought to himself, how should you sing this scene? It's up to you. Zhang Tinglan also nodded and said, "Mr. Gao, if you insist on getting the arms in advance, it's not impossible!"
"Whatever you want to do, I agree to any conditions!"
"Then it can only be drawn from Fengjun's active equipment. However, doing so will affect Fengjun's combat effectiveness. You should pay another 1.5 million in early delivery fees!"
Zhang Tinglan casually asked for another 1.5 million. Gao Xiaoshan's body ached for a while. He glanced at Zhang Zuolin, hoping that Yu Shuai could come forward and say something and pay less money. But at this time, Zhang Zuolin was in the presence of the old god.
He drank tea without even blinking.
Gao Xiaoshan had no choice. After thinking about it, he could only nod in agreement. Zhang Tinglan immediately asked someone to hand Gao Xiaoshan one million rounds of ammunition, twenty mortars, forty light and heavy machine guns, ten Krupp cannons, and more.
It is equipped with some artillery shells and 30,000 grenades.
There is still a long way to go before all the supplies are delivered, especially since Zhang Tinglan only gave one million rounds of ammunition, which is a serious shortage. However, at least he got a lot of things, so Gao Xiaoshan could only go back and recover as soon as possible.
After sending him away, Lao Zhang said with a smile on his face: "I'd like to say that you are doing a good job in this business. Damn it, you gave Zhang Xun another 1.5 million. I'm afraid that Zhang Xun's family fortune will be wiped out all at once."
Empty!"
"Commander, didn't you see that I still have a batch of bullets and artillery shells? At a critical moment, these things can be used to blackmail Zhang Xun for a large amount of money!"
"You still want to blackmail?" Lao Zhang also looked surprised: "Zhang Xun's family has been emptied, how much money can he still spend?"
"Commander, I'm afraid Zhang Xun won't have to pay the bill next time. What do you think Zhang Xun wants to do if he wants arms so eagerly?"
Zhang Zuolin's thinking was also very fast. There was no big war on the border now. Zhang Xun was so anxious to get arms, so he had only one purpose, which was to get involved in the battle between the government and the court. Lao Zhang instantly understood Zhang Tinglan's plan, no matter what
No matter what Zhang Xun does, as long as Fengjun holds the vital munitions, Zhang Xun will do everything possible to raise funds and send them to Fengjun's pocket. As for where the money comes from, you really don't have to worry about it.
"My humble opinion, Bodhisattva Li sent someone to invite us. Duan Qirui must have invited Zhang Xun. I wonder what kind of medicine is sold in Duan Gourd? Zhang Xun is not a peaceful person. I heard that he is surrounded by people.
There are many Manchu survivors, old and young, and they often say recently that the Republic of China was even more chaotic than the Manchus, and it would be better to return to the Manchus so that the world could be at peace. Such people are afraid of causing a big trouble when they come to Beijing.
"
Zhang Tinglan also nodded in agreement. There is no doubt that Zhang Xun's restoration is a farce, but it is very doubtful whether there is a driving force behind this farce. Otherwise, with Zhang Xun's ability alone, can he easily lead an army into Beijing? Along the way
There are so many obstacles and checkpoints. Now it seems that it is very likely that Lao Duan deliberately allowed Zhang Xun to go to Beijing to cause trouble and drive Li Yuanhong away, and then Lao Duan appeared as the savior to clean up the mess.
As the saying goes, there is no establishment without destruction. Duan Qirui is preparing to completely destroy the political situation since the Republic of China and then reshape it according to his own ideas, and Zhang Xun is a pathetic pawn.
After thinking about this, Zhang Tinglan felt a little pity for Zhang Xun. Of course, this was just a temporary thought, and he would definitely not be polite if he should take action.
"Commander, I think Duan Qirui may have deliberately recruited Zhang Xun, the king of trouble, to Beijing just to bring chaos to the world, and then Duan Qirui will come out to clean up the old country."
Lao Zhang thought for a while, nodded, and then asked: "Zhu Yan, what do you think we should do?"
"Commander, it seems to me that Zhang Xun is finished, which is also a good thing for us. It means that the road to expand to the northwest has been opened. However, the task of cleaning up the mess cannot be left to Duan Qirui alone. We Fengjun must also participate.
, Firstly, it is to gain fame, and secondly, it is to gain actual benefits. There are many factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and there are many workers. As many as you can get, you can get as many as you can. In addition, Rehe must be in hand, so Fengtian
The security situation will be greatly improved."
For a leader, the most important thing is to know the right balance between advance and retreat, what can be fought for and what cannot be fought for, what must be obtained even at the risk of one's life, and what is a dispensable decoration.
The Middle East Road is something that must be fought for. For this reason, Fengjun can bet his life and fortune on it. Rehe is related to Fengjun's development strategy and must be in his hands. Industrial strength is the capital for Fengjun to settle down and live. These are all
It is indispensable. As for the power of Beiyang, which seems very tempting, it is dispensable. Maybe it is still a slow poison.
"I would like to say, how should Fengjun deal with it? You and Lin Ge will come up with a charter together."
Fengjun's secret mobilization immediately began. At this moment, the commander-in-chief Zhang Xun suddenly issued a telegram in Rehe, announcing that he would lead the army to Beijing to mediate the dispute between the government and the imperial court. This telegram can be said to have stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, large and small.
The small warlords were all watching the fight between Premier Duan and Li Bodhisattva. Now that Cheng Yaojin appeared halfway, everyone couldn't help but guess where things would go.
Li Yuanhong was also a little confused as a monk. He invited Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin opened his mouth and asked for such a high price. As a result, there was no movement from Fengjun. Zhang Xun, who had nothing to do with them, jumped out and saw the situation in front of him.
It was getting weirder and weirder, and Li Yuanhong could only wait and see.
Zhang Xun was high-spirited and personally led 8,000 braided troops as the vanguard, and headed for Beijing in a mighty manner. The journey was smooth, and all the local defenders were not in trouble at all. Zhang Xun arrived at Beijing smoothly.
.
However, after the commander-in-chief arrived in the capital, he did something unexpected. He went straight to the Forbidden City and kowtowed to the young emperor Puyi. As for the real president Li Yuanhong, he was left aside. (To be continued.)
