Old brothers who have been through life and death for more than ten years, from ordinary horse thieves to today's princes, the relationship between Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang is really deep. Especially after Lao Zhang became a division commander, they were able to get along with him.
Only Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen are left. Now that he has died before his ambition was fulfilled, how can Zhang Zuoxiang not be sad?
Hearing that Lao Zhang entrusted Zhang Xueliang to him, Zhang Zuoxiang nodded hurriedly: "Yuting, don't worry, from now on, Han Qing is my biological son. As long as Zhang Zuoxiang is alive, no one dares to touch him.
A finger."
After receiving Zhang Zuoxiang's assurance, Zhang Zuolin finally showed a look of relief on his face. He rolled his eyes with difficulty, glanced at Zhang Tinglan, Wang Yongjiang and others, and then his eyes completely froze!
"Dad!" When Zhang Xueliang saw this, he immediately fell on Zhang Zuolin and burst into tears. Not only him, but Zhang Zuoxiang and others also had tears rolling down their faces.
"Yuting!" While everyone was crying, someone rushed in again. It was Sun Liechen. After getting the telegram, he hurried to Fengtian, but he didn't even see Lao Zhang for the last time.
He also knelt in front of Lao Zhang's bed and cried bitterly. After crying for a long time, Zhang Zuoxiang stood up and said to everyone: "Don't cry anymore. With Yuting gone, we have to take responsibility for Fengjun's affairs.
We must help Yu Ting prepare for his funeral, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and comfort Yu Ting’s spirit in heaven.”
While he was talking, someone suddenly came to report that Akajiri Shosuke had come to visit. Zhang Tinglan glanced at his father, and both of them instantly understood the Japanese plan.
"They are just weasels paying New Year greetings to the chickens. They have no good intentions. They just want to come over and see if Yuting is dead!"
"Dad, it is not appropriate to report the death of the commander-in-chief now. We still have a large number of troops in the pass who have not withdrawn, and the Japanese are still ready to make a move. The morale of the Fengjun army is not stable. If the news of the commander-in-chief's death is spread out again, it will only
I’m afraid something will happen!”
Zhang Zuoxiang also nodded: "I would like to say, you go deal with Akajiri Shosuke first, Han Qing and you all stay back, let's put on a show here to fool the Japanese."
Zhang Zuoxiang was also a man of quick wits, and he quickly made arrangements. Zhang Tinglan quickly walked out of the commander's mansion. Masasuke Akashiri stood at the gate. When he saw Zhang Tinglan coming out, he hurriedly greeted him.
"Zhang Sang, I heard that the inspection envoy Zhang was assassinated, and I came here to express my condolences. He is a good friend of the empire, and the imperial government is absolutely unwilling to see such despicable behavior."
"They are all incompetent scoundrels. The commander-in-chief also said just now that if he has the ability, he will fight with open swords and guns. What purpose can be achieved by just using some sneaky and despicable means!"
Akajiri Masato's words to Zhang Tinglan suddenly made him a little confused. It seemed that Zhang Zuolin was still alive and could still say this. Could it be that Zhang Zuolin was invincible? The Japanese side's various arrangements and series of killing moves made Zhang Zuolin hide.
In the past, this was simply unbelievable.
He tried his best to find something strange in Zhang Tinglan's eyes, hoping to prove that the young man was lying. But unfortunately, Zhang Tinglan's eyes were calm, with no fear at all, and there was no resentment at all, only ridicule.
, naked contempt.
Akajiri Masasuke's heart thumped. If Zhang Zuolin had not been killed and Feng Jun had found out, the trouble would have been too big. He asked tentatively again: "Zhang Sang, can I go see the patrol envoy?"
Your Mightiness?"
"No problem." Zhang Tinglan turned around and took Akajiri Masasuke, and went straight to Zhang Zuolin's study. As soon as he reached the door, he heard voices inside: "Damn it, after all these years of life and death, this little injury is nothing.
It’s so important that we can’t miss this opportunity!”
"Commander, don't be brave. The doctor has said that it was a pure luck. The bullet penetrated the hole but did not damage the organs. Otherwise, there would be no way to save your life. You should be honest and cultivate yourself. We will go right away.
Now we have some clues about tracking down the murderer, let’s deal with these miscreants first, and then think about entering the prison.”
Akajiri Shosuke was very familiar with it. The voices speaking inside were those of Zhang Zuolin and Sun Liechen. Among them, Zhang Zuolin's voice was full of vitality and did not sound like a seriously injured and dying person. Akajiri Masasuke suddenly felt a chill in his heart.
"Mr. Consul General, please go in and see the Marshal. I just have something to give you." With that, Zhang Tinglan took out a bullet casing, brought it to Masasuke Akajiri, and shook it at him.
"Zhang Sang, what do you mean?"
"Mr. Consul General, this is the bullet casing of your Type 38 rifle. It was found at the scene of the assassination. The murderer used a Japanese standard rifle, which really makes me suspicious."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Akajiri Masasuke waved his hands repeatedly: "The imperial government has always regarded Inspector Zhang as its best friend, and will never do such a thing. Don't get me wrong. According to my guess, it is possible.
It was the Duan Qirui government that did this secretly. They also purchased a large number of arms and weapons from the empire. You two are in the middle of a battle. It is normal for him to use some despicable methods."
"Mr. Consul General is so sharp that he helped us find the murderer so quickly." Zhang Tinglan said sarcastically: "You'd better come with me to see the commander-in-chief and tell us your thoughts carefully."
"No, no need." Akajiri Masasuke had completely believed that Zhang Zuolin was fine at this time, and a layer of fine sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
"Zhang's patrol makes cultivation the most important thing. I will come back another day. In addition, I also want to investigate the flow of weapons and fully assist Fengjun in tracking down the murderer."
After Akajiri Shosuke finished speaking, he turned around and ran out of the commander's mansion. Zhang Tinglan looked at his back from a distance, with flames already shooting out of his eyes. If these despicable Japanese didn't send them all to hell,
I'm sorry to have come to this time and space.
Zhang Tinglan turned around and entered the study. At this time, both Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang came out. The voice of Zhang Zuolin, who had just been studied by Zhang Zuoxiang, deceived Akajiri Masasuke, and the three of them sat across from each other. After a while, Sun Liechen said: "Fuchen, Yuting's
Death can be hidden for a while, but it cannot be hidden for a lifetime. Sooner or later, it will be announced. Where Fengjun will go from now on, there will also be a charter. I also know what Yuting is thinking. Hanqing is too young, so you, Fuchen, will take over.
Patrol envoy from the three eastern provinces, I will give you my full support."
"Zanyao, from my heart, I would be satisfied if I could assist Yu Ting for the rest of my life, but now that something like this has happened, I don't know what to do!"
"Fuchen, you are in charge of Fengjun. You are talented and talented, and father and son cooperate. There is absolutely no problem. Also, can you look at my face and let Han Qing study abroad? He is not yet twenty and knows nothing.
There is no threat.”
"Zanyao, are you worried that I will harm Han Qing? I have already promised Yu Ting that I will never lay a finger on Han Qing. He is my son now!"
Sun Liechen sighed and said: "Fu Chen, I understand your character, but there are always some villains who want to take advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. Han Qing is one of their signs. Let Han Qing go abroad. It will be good for everyone!"
After Sun Liechen finished speaking, Zhang Zuoxiang was speechless. This was indeed a way. But at this time, Zhang Tinglan said from the side: "I am opposed to letting Han Qing go abroad. If Han Qing leaves at this time, it will cause permanent damage to Fengjun.
The scars and military morale will be completely weakened and can never be restored. Now stability comes first."
Lao Zhang has been in the army for many years and has many cronies. Now that the old marshal has just died, the young marshal has been driven out of the country. What will others think? Moreover, there are some new-school figures around Zhang Xueliang. What will those who support the young marshal think? Here
This is a time when we need to work together as one and not be divided.
In history, after Zhang Zuolin's death, Zhang Xueliang had to shoot Yang Chang, which caused serious damage to the Feng army. The morale of the army was completely shattered. There were hundreds of thousands of troops, but they did not dare to resist foreign humiliation. Zhang Tinglan definitely did not want to make this mistake.
"Uncle Sun, you don't have to worry. Times have changed now, and I don't have a self-centered mentality. Isn't there room for Han Qing?"
Zhang Tinglan made his words clear, which reassured Sun Liechen. In fact, he was not worried about Zhang Zuoxiang. After all, they had known Zhang Zuoxiang for many years and knew that Zhang Zuoxiang would not kill everyone. But Zhang Tinglan, who held great power, was more troublesome. No one knew whether he would eradicate dissidents.
Attack Zhang Xueliang.
"According to my vision, Fengjun will completely reorganize its structure in the future, changing the original patriarchal system where one person has the final say. We will form a military and political committee, with all members having one vote, collective leadership, collective decision-making, and mutual cooperation. Han Qing is now an Air Force officer
Commander, he will naturally represent the Air Force in this committee, and if Han Qing leaves, who will command these war eagles?"
Sun Liechen did not expect Zhang Tinglan to have such an idea, which made him extremely surprised. In the past, no matter who came to power, the first thing he had to do was to eradicate dissidents and support his own strength. This has been the practice for thousands of years.
Even father, son and brothers are not exempt from the common deeds, but Zhang Tinglan did the opposite. Not only did he not limit Zhang Xueliang's power, he was not prepared to suppress him, but he also allowed Zhang Xueliang to enter the decision-making level. This is simply too unexpected!
In the past, everyone didn't pay attention to the aircraft of the Air Force, and only regarded them as toys made by Zhang Zuolin for his son. However, now Zhang Tinglan directly promoted the Air Force, giving it formal real power and being able to vote openly. Sun Liechen
I really don’t understand what Zhang Tinglan is planning.
However, one thing is still clear to Sun Liechen. If this kind of committee system and voting can be implemented, it will be a good thing for him. His right to speak will even be greater than during Zhang Zuolin's time, and Sun Liechen will not be able to refuse.
"I'm sorry, I'm really pleased that you can express your position like this." Sun Liechen said with a relieved smile: "Then we should discuss how to deal with the current chaos. The news of the commander's death cannot be hidden for long."
Zhang Zuoxiang also nodded and said: "Let us generate electricity now in the name of the commander-in-chief and call all the military chiefs from various places and senior officers above the brigade commander to Fengtian. Everyone will unify their opinions and stabilize the morale of the army. In short, the Fengjun army cannot be in chaos!"
Now the three men are undoubtedly the most powerful figures in Fengjun. What they agreed to was quickly implemented. The officers in charge of the various departments of Fengjun, especially the leading generals in the pass, all withdrew to the pass.
The first person to run back was Zhang Jinghui. This tofu Zhang Ye was indeed a bit soft. After hearing that Zhang Zuolin was assassinated and his life or death was uncertain, he was frightened and left all the troops alone. He disguised himself as a businessman and rolled around.
He ran back to Fengtian.
In fact, there is a reason why he is so scared. Zhang Jinghui has already vaguely felt that the Japanese may have been behind it, and he also has some contact with the Japanese. If they are traced, his head may be gone. Tofu Zhang can only use the fastest method.
He ran back to Fengtian at a fast speed, trying to find a way to survive.
"I want to see Yuting, let me see him. I really don't have any ill intentions. If I knew that the Japanese wanted to assassinate him, even if I were killed, I would not contact the Japanese!"
"Jing Hui, don't cry, Yu Ting has left!" Zhang Zuoxiang sighed and told him the news.
As soon as Zhang Jinghui heard this, he immediately sat down on the ground and cried loudly: "Fuchen, you know best who I am. How dare I betray Yuting? All my connections with the Japanese are instigated by Zhang Haipeng."
Yes, he told us that many friends mean many paths. The Japanese are a great power and there is no benefit in going against them. I am also obsessed with it."
"No need to say anything, just tell me exactly what you know!" (To be continued...)
