When Zhang Tinglan showed up, he didn't say any words of comfort. On the contrary, every piece of news frightened people to death. All these troubles came together, and everyone's hearts were in a state of confusion. Is Fengjun really doomed?
"Everyone, let me tell you the truth, Fengjun is indeed at the point of life and death. The situation is more dangerous than ever before. If anyone wants to join another high branch, just like Kan Chaoxi, I will not stop him. But I want to say that in times of crisis,
At the critical moment, I abandoned Fengjun. From now on, I will be the enemy of one hundred thousand Fengjun. As long as we meet, we will have to fight to the death."
When the people present heard Zhang Tinglan's murderous words, they felt a lot calmer. Everyone was thinking with their heads down. If Fengjun was really in danger, Zhang Tinglan would never dare to speak like this. He would definitely beg everyone to work together.
If you work hard, you won't act like you're trying to drive people away.
After all, Zhang Tinglan was still confident, especially when he said the words "one hundred thousand troops", which finally made everyone wake up. Even though Lao Zhang had lost 40,000 to 50,000 troops, the elites of Fengjun were still there, especially the ones with the strongest combat effectiveness.
The border guards are still intact.
That is a force that dares to compete with the great powers, and it is held in Zhang Tinglan's hand. Now that Commander-in-Chief Zhang said this, he must be sure. Thinking of this, these people all know how to choose.
"Commander-in-chief Zhang, although the commander-in-chief is dead, the auxiliary commander is still there. If you are still there, our army cannot collapse. We are all willing to follow Commander-in-Chief Zhang and tide over the difficulties!"
"That's right, we are all willing to follow Commander-in-Chief Zhang and get through the difficulties together!"
When Zhang Tinglan saw that these people had expressed their opinions like this, there was a hint of joy on his face. He smiled and said: "Very good! We don't need to care about how others yell now. As long as we don't mess up, no one can defeat us. Now let's go ahead.
Let them dance around for a while. We will hold a military meeting immediately to discuss Fengjun's next work. After we have arranged everything, we will let them look good!"
Zhang Tinglan's confident statement made everyone very excited, and they finally felt relieved. Zhang Zuoxiang also nodded happily. His son is indeed not bad, and he can stabilize the overall situation at this time. It can be seen that his prestige has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
There is one head of a thousand families. If Zhang Zuolin dies, a new head of the family must be elected to lead everyone. They cannot be leaderless. Everyone's eyes are turning back and forth on Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan. They are the most powerful and the most qualified to succeed the patrol.
It depends on how they arrange it.
"Does the commander have any last words?" Zhu Qinglan asked from the side: "If so, we will follow the commander's last words!"
Sun Liechen nodded: "According to the commander-in-chief's wishes, Fu Chen is to take over his position and continue to command Fengjun. I fully support this decision. I wonder what everyone thinks?"
"I agree!" The first person to speak was Sun Anhu, who had just returned from Harbin. He also attended this meeting on behalf of the border defense army. Zhang Zuoxiang was his old commander, and he worked with Zhang Tinglan. If Zhang Zuoxiang took office, the border defense army would not be able to do anything.
There is no doubt that he has become the backbone of Fengjun. How could he not support it!
After Sun Anhu expressed his stance, Jilin Governor Guo Zongxi also said: "Commander Zhang Fu is highly respected and is indeed the most suitable candidate."
Zhang Zuoxiang is a well-known kind person among the Fengjun people. Among the old-school figures, many people support him. In addition, he is Zhang Tinglan’s father. Most of the new-school figures also support Zhang Zuoxiang. After this decision was made, no one had any objections.
, nodded in agreement frequently.
At this time, Guo Songling suddenly stood up, and his face turned very ugly: "Commander-in-Chief, you are highly respected, so logically I shouldn't say anything, but why are there only these people in this meeting, and where are the other personnel?
Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Zhang Haipeng, none of the veterans of the army came here. I'm afraid it's a little inappropriate to decide the head of the family so hastily. Also, where is the young marshal Zhang Xueliang? Where is he? The marshal is gone, and the young marshal must
Come out!”
Guo Songling's words had a hint of accusation, as if she was saying that Zhang Zuoxiang had put Zhang Xueliang under house arrest and wanted to seize power.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and Zhang Xueliang walked in quickly, his eyes red and swollen, and there were tears on his face.
"Maochen, I don't have anything to do. When my father explained the funeral arrangements, I was by his side and listened to every word clearly. The old boss is in charge of Fengjun and can stabilize the overall situation of Fengjun.
Let Fengjun be torn apart, Han Qing knows that he is young and has nothing to do, and is willing to obey the old boss's arrangements. And please also take my father's face into account, and wholeheartedly assist the new patrol envoys, develop and strengthen Fengjun, and avenge my father's shame.
!”
After Zhang Xueliang came forward, Guo Songling was stuffed with words. He was still a little unconvinced and asked: "Han Qing, how is the investigation into the death of the old commander? Is it a foreign enemy or an insider? Do I want to kill the murderer?"
Find him out, otherwise you won’t be able to comfort the old commander’s spirit in heaven.”
"It was done by the Japanese. The information was leaked by Xi Qia, Yu Chonghan and others. As for Zhang Haipeng and Tang Yulin, they are both involved. They have been arrested and are being investigated carefully." Zhang Xueliang gritted his teeth when he said this.
I have been brothers with Lao Zhang for many years, but I never thought that they would be involved and become accomplices in Zhang Zuolin's murder. It is simply unforgivable.
With Zhang Xueliang, everyone here was speechless. Even if some people suspected Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Xueliang, as the son of Lao Zhang, would not help outsiders make fakes. Besides, everyone was very satisfied with Zhang Zuolin's arrangement. If
It would be a big trouble for Lao Zhang to let Zhang Xueliang succeed him. In this crisis, who would trust a young boy? The more mature and steady Zhang Zuoxiang is more reassuring.
"Everyone, it's not that I am greedy for power. It's just that the matter has reached this point and I have to do it. However, I know that my prestige and ability are far inferior to Yuting, and I dare not give orders to everyone at will. Therefore, I suggest that the military and political conference of the three eastern provinces be established.
We will select and appoint talents, and we will discuss the future of Fengjun together."
Zhang Zuoxiang's attitude was very humble, which was refreshing to the people present. Listening to Zhang Zuoxiang's statement, it seemed that the power in everyone's hands could be increased a lot, so they all listened attentively, wanting to see what Zhang Zuoxiang's plans were.
At this time, Zhang Zuoxiang glanced at Zhang Tinglan, and then Zhang Tinglan stood up. He cupped his hands to everyone, and then said loudly: "The death of the general is the biggest tragedy for the entire Fengjun army. I hope that everyone can turn grief into strength, work together, and contribute to the cause of Fengjun."
The commander takes revenge."
After Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, he continued: "I suggest that the management system of the Fengjun be readjusted, establish two patrol envoys, chief and deputy, implement the separation of military and political affairs, abolish the provincial governors, and establish a Northeast Military and Political Council to command all Fengjun."
How to plan the Fengjun in the post-Zhang Zuolin era is a question that Zhang Tinglan is racking his brains to think about. He has long told Sun Liechen that military and political meetings must be held, voting must be carried out, and collective leadership must be held. It seems that this is spreading the power in his hands. In fact, it is nothing more.
It's just a false shot.
Zhang Tinglan wanted to take advantage of this military and political meeting to take all the power back into his own hands. Although Lao Zhang was in Japan, although he was the patrol envoy of the three eastern provinces, each province also had military governors and its own troops. Lao Zhang relied on his prestige to control
Provinces. Zhang Tinglan, who has a modern political vision, would never agree with this system. Therefore, he proposed the abolition of the military governor and the separation of military and political affairs.
This is a powerful medicine, which is equivalent to completely kneading the four provinces together to prevent the situation of independent administration. In the past, there must have been many people who opposed it, but now the situation is different. Wu Junsheng and Zhang Zuolin are both dead, and Heilongjiang and Fengtian
There is no one in charge.
Most of the old-school figures were dismissed, and the only one who could stop this was Sun Liechen. However, Zhang Tinglan suggested setting up a deputy patrol envoy. This position was tailor-made for Sun Liechen, and he had no way to object.
After Sun Liechen was solved, the others were not important enough, and it was too dangerous at this time. All forces must be unified to help Fengjun tide over the difficulties. Therefore, everyone could only nod in agreement. The important separation of military and political affairs was so meaningless.
The resistance was passed, which cannot but be said to be a rare opportunity.
Under internal and external pressure, Fengjun finally began to transform. Since then, Fengjun has officially escaped the fate of warlords. The reason why warlords became warlords is because they hold military power in one hand, administrative power in the other hand, and control of the money bag. Military and political affairs
After the separation, it was equivalent to blocking the opportunity for military leaders to intervene in administration, and their power was suddenly restricted, and no one could even think of becoming a grass-head king.
"The Military and Political Council is chaired by the patrol envoy and consists of three service committees. The first is the Military Committee, and the person in charge of daily affairs is the director. It has the General Staff Department, the Army Department, the Air Force Department, the Navy Department, the Logistics Department, and the Equipment Department.
, the Recruit Training Department, each province has established military divisions, and the commanders of the military divisions are also under the unified management of the Military Commission! The second is the Administrative Committee, which also has a director, and has jurisdiction over the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Taxation, and the Ministry of Health.
The Ministry of Immigration, the Ministry of Infrastructure, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Education, etc. manage the administrative affairs of the three northeastern provinces."
Zhang Tinglan explained the new administrative structure, and everyone present was a little frightened. This is not a small move. If this plan is implemented, the entire Fengjun system will be completely changed. It can be said that to some extent, it will imitate the central government.
, established an independent government system, no longer the crude provincial system in the past, and the military and government in Northeast China were completely unified.
Moreover, this setting is very knowledgeable. Although the chief and deputy patrol officers are nominally the highest leaders, in fact they are like the president of the cabinet system. They are obviously being ignored, and the real power is the committee below.
Everyone is counting on their fingers. There is no doubt that the director of the Military Commission must be Zhang Tinglan, and the director of the Administrative Committee is Wang Yongjiang! In fact, this system is somewhat similar to Japan. The Military Commission is equivalent to the military department, and the Administrative Committee is equivalent to the cabinet.
"In addition to these two committees, there is another Security Committee, which is mainly personally responsible for the patrol envoy and has four departments under its jurisdiction, including military, economic, diplomatic, and intelligence. This Security Committee is not only responsible for the military aspect, but also Economic security, intelligence security, social trends and other issues must be taken into consideration, and whenever there is a situation that harms the Northeast, it must be dealt with in a timely manner."
The establishment of the Security Committee is naturally to follow the example of later generations and to establish a comprehensive security concept. In fact, Japan, and of course other powers, use not only military means to invade China, but also attack from all aspects, including economy, culture, and diplomacy. During this period, Zhang Tinglan took the opportunity to push out the Security Committee in order to prepare for a full-scale confrontation.
After Zhang Tinglan announced the three committees, no one said anything. They were more concerned about the specific candidates and how Zhang Tinglan would arrange them.
There were no surprises in the Military Committee. The director is Zhang Tinglan, and its members include Chief of Staff Yang Yuting, Air Force Commander Zhang Xueliang, Acting Navy Commander Shen Honglie, Logistics Minister Ji Jinchun, Equipment Minister Tao Jiping, and Recruit Training Minister Zhu Qinglan.
In this new structure, there is only one old-school figure, Ji Jinchun, who is relatively close to Zhang Tinglan. Apart from Zhang Tinglan's confidants, the others are Zhang Xueliang and Zhu Qinglan, one old and one young. There is no way to threaten Zhang Tinglan's authority. Speaking of Fengjun’s military power, from this moment on, it has legitimately fallen into the hands of Zhang Tinglan! (To be continued...)
