The four hundred and fortieth chapter Guo Songling rebelled
As the saying goes, fire cannot be contained in paper, and the news of Lao Zhang's assassination quickly spread throughout the world. Although Fengjun did not announce Zhang Zuolin's life and death, various speculations were flying all over the sky, and the three eastern provinces were also disturbed. The division and brigade commanders who attended the meeting
, all those who supported the new commander returned to their bases and worked hard to appease the soldiers and maintain the situation.
And those guys with ulterior motives began to communicate incessantly, and an undercurrent began to surge. Zhang Tinglan, who was at the center of the trouble, seemed very quiet. He only announced the strengthening of martial law, and then there was no movement, leaving everyone confused.
Some are unpredictable.
"I have to say that the situation is getting worse and worse. Shouldn't we take some action?"
Yang Yuting asked anxiously: "You can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, everyone is happy, but it is too stable, and I don't know what to do!"
"Linge, I said that this is an opportunity for Fengjun to transform. The rebirth of the phoenix will undergo the test of fire. This is the step we must take. See clearly the deep-seated problems of Fengjun and find our fatal weakness.
If we cannot take advantage of this time to transform Fengjun, there will only be more trouble in the future."
What Zhang Tinglan likes most is to go with the flow. If you put in a little more effort, you can avoid a lot of trouble. But facing the situation at hand, he is ready to change his past practices, let the problem be fully exposed, and then concentrate on solving it.
"I'm sorry, Guo Songling is so rebellious in the back of his head!" Yang Yuting sighed and said, "You asked him to be the commander of the military division in Rehe, but this guy didn't appreciate it and contacted other officers everywhere. I was worried that he would take the opportunity to rebel.
.”
"Guo Songling is a tiger general and has a close relationship with Han Qing. I hope he can serve Fengjun wholeheartedly, and I am willing to promote him. But he really wants to rebel, and I absolutely cannot bypass him!"
"Should I send someone now to arrest Guo Songling and execute him secretly?"
"No." Zhang Tinglan waved his hands quickly: "Sooner or later, the commander's death will be announced. If there is no reason, Guo Songling will be executed. Outsiders will only say that I attacked Han Qing. This is inappropriate!"
"How long has this been going on? How can you repay my mother-in-law's reputation? If you want to achieve great things, don't stick to trivial matters. Let's eliminate these troubles first. As for what outsiders think, don't care at all.
Zhang Tinglan smiled and shook his head: "If it was just for reputation, I would have taken action long ago. What really worries me is the bloody internal fighting, which will leave serious scars and cause distrust within the Fengjun army. Our foreign enemies will look around.
, if there are any more cracks inside, it will be easy to cause problems. Guo Songling, I will take him down. And I will take him down as quickly as possible, but I have to let his evil deeds be exposed first, and then I can justifiably defeat the thief.
.”
When Yang Yuting heard Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "I'd like to say, if you really have this ability, then I'd love it. I wonder what your plans are?"
While he was talking, Chang Yinhuai suddenly ran in and delivered an urgent telegram to Zhang Tinglan.
"My humble opinion is that Liu Yuqing, commander of Heilongjiang's 2nd Cavalry Brigade, and Zhang Zili, commander of Hulan Garrison, have declared independence!"
After the meeting, all the military leaders from various places returned to their bases. These two guys had just arrived in Heilongjiang and immediately declared independence at an alarming speed.
"In my humble opinion, they claim to have been appointed by Duan Qirui and are the new governor of Heilongjiang. They want to drive out Fengjun and realize Heilongjiang's autonomy!"
"Dreaming." Yang Yuting couldn't sit still at first. He grabbed the telegram, looked at it carefully, and then said: "I can't wait any longer. These bastards have jumped out. If we don't take action, the whole thing will be destroyed."
The three provinces will be in chaos."
Zhang Tinglan closed his eyes slightly and carefully ran through various thoughts in his mind. After thinking for a long time, Zhang Tinglan nodded: "We really need to take action. Let's announce the death of the commander first, and then stimulate the ambitions of all parties."
Home, and then we will prepare to close the net!"
Zhang Tinglan immediately found his father Zhang Zuoxiang and reported the situation to him. Zhang Zuoxiang's eyebrows knitted into a knot and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"I have to say, what kind of military and political meeting are you holding? You have already taken care of the interests of these people. Counting from the past, there has never been a change of dynasties without a massacre and a river of blood. But this time we did not kill a single person. They
These people are simply ignorant and intolerable!"
"Dad, let me put it bluntly, we still have the roots of bandits within the Fengjun Army. Although I have always advocated the establishment of a new type of army, this goal cannot be achieved as long as the commander-in-chief is there. I am still delaying taking action.
, just want to expose all these problems, and then we can expel the old people from the army in an open and honest manner. Starting from the officers and soldiers at the bottom, we will reshape Fengjun so that Fengjun can be reborn from the ashes."
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded: "I understand your point of view, but can this kind of thing be postponed a little bit until we have stabilized the overall situation, and then start little by little, so we don't have to be so passive now."
"Dad, in fact, what I'm worried about is not Beiyang, nor the few internal bastards. After more than three years of operation, the power hidden in my hands is much greater than imagined, not only the army, but also other systems. I
They are all fully prepared. The only thing that worries me is the Japanese. If they take the opportunity to intervene directly or even use force, they will inevitably be unable to save the day."
Zhang Zuoxiang didn't know much about what Zhang Tinglan had done in these years. It was only now that Zhang Tinglan revealed his true feelings, saying that he still had a lot of hidden strength. Zhang Zuoxiang nodded with emotion: "You bastard, you finally know how to play tricks and stay.
You are playing second fiddle. You are deliberately showing weakness, causing all parties to jump out, and then confuse the Japanese, making them think that these bastards can deal with us, so they will not rush to send troops."
"That's right, Dad, we have to continue the show. I suggest that Fengtian be freed up first to give them a chance."
Zhang Zuoxiang saw Zhang Tinglan's confidence and nodded: "I'd like to say, as long as you don't play with fire, I will support you!"
"Dad, don't worry. Let's announce the death of the commander-in-chief first, and then you will go north in person to deal with the rebellion. I will lead my troops south to resist Beiyang in name, creating the illusion that Fengtian is empty. Let those ambitious people jump out.
"
The situation was already in turmoil. After the news of Zhang Zuolin's death was announced, the two men left Fengtian. It seemed that this was definitely a bad move. However, Zhang Tinglan dared to play this way because he had enough trump cards.
After the two men discussed it, they quickly summoned all the officers in Fengtian. Sun Liechen and others all arrived. There was a heavy look of worry on the faces of the big guys. The current situation was indeed too unfavorable.
"Everyone, clowns from all walks of life have come out now. They want to bring down our Fengjun army. We must not let them go. I am ready to send troops as soon as possible to suppress the rebellion internally and expel the Beiyang Army externally. The patrol envoy will personally go north to deal with Heilongjiang
The rebellion. Deputy patrol envoy Sun and Guo Songling led their troops to Rehe to stop Xiao Xu from invading Rehe. Then I led my troops directly to Shanhaiguan to deal with the Kan Chaoxi."
Zhang Tinglan announced the plan to send troops, and everyone here was a little dumbfounded. They really wanted to send troops as soon as possible, but they didn't want to arrange it like this. Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Tinglan, and Sun Liechen all left Fengtian. Without a highly respected person in charge, wouldn't Fengtian be in chaos?
!
"Fuchen, you are the patrol envoy. It's better to sit in Fengtian personally, and we can deal with the situation at hand." Sun Liechen tried to suggest.
"No need, I am most familiar with the situation in Northern Manchuria. The rebellion can be eradicated in one step. Fengtian is our base camp. There are too many people loyal to Fengjun, so there is no need to worry. I estimate that it will take about ten days and a half.
It won’t take more than a month at most, everything has stabilized, there’s nothing to worry about!”
Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan both said the same thing. Although Sun Liechen was full of suspicions, he could not object and could only reluctantly agree. After the troops were dispatched, Zhang Tinglan officially informed the outside world of Zhang Zuolin's death, saying that the commander-in-chief was assassinated by an assassin in Shanhaiguan and was injured.
He died of serious injuries.
Zhang Zuoxiang took over as the patrol envoy of the three northeastern provinces, and at the same time announced the establishment of the Northeast Military and Political Conference to maintain public security and investigate the murderer. I hope that all the Northeast military and civilians can work together to overcome difficulties and ensure the overall stability and development of Northeast China!
After issuing the shortened communiqué, the Fengtian army began to mobilize. Zhang Zuoxiang went north and Zhang Tinglan went south. Suddenly Fengtian became empty.
"Brother Maochen, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has finally come. That kid Zhang Tinglan is a little too proud. He thinks he can handle all the troubles. He dares to directly announce the death of the commander and dares to leave Fengtian. He is simply ignorant of life and death."
The person who spoke was Xu Youfang, the commander of the 56th Brigade. He originally followed Feng Delin and later surrendered to Lao Zhang and was promoted to the position of brigade commander. However, this man was greedy and got into a lawsuit not long ago. Yang Yuting sued Zhang Zuolin and almost
Take him down.
Xu Youfang held a grudge. Now that he had the opportunity, how could he not take advantage of it? In addition to him, Zhou He, the former commander of the artillery regiment, also joined in.
"The commander-in-chief has left, and it is the young commander-in-chief's turn to succeed him. Why do Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan have so much power? We, the loyal people in the army, have long been unable to stand it. Brother Maochen, you are the one whom the young commander-in-chief trusts, so it is up to you to
Take the lead, and all parties will respond. Let’s kill Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan. It’s good for you to be the director of the Military Commission. We’ll make you the deputy director.”
Zhou He said with a proud smile on his face, and at the same time, he betrayed his thoughts. This guy was not thinking about Zhang Xueliang's succession. This was just a banner. His real purpose was to take the opportunity to seize the power of Fengjun.
He also became a prince.
Guo Songling sighed and said: "I sincerely assist Han Qing and don't want to be an official. If Zhang Zuoxiang and others hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't be like this. But there is still a little trouble, that is, we have no army, but the arms and funds are all with Zhang Tinglan.
They are under control and have no money. How should we deal with them?"
"Brother Maochen, these are all trivial matters, why are you making things difficult!" Yu Wendian said with a smile, "As long as you nod your head and agree, this can be solved."
Yu Wendian is Yu Chonghan's cousin. Both brothers are the same thing. His brother can seek refuge with the Japanese, and he is no exception. Now that Yu Chonghan has been arrested, Yu Wendian is naturally unwilling to accept it, and the master behind him is also
Ask him to stir up trouble.
"Brother Maochen, as long as you can stand up and reorganize the Fengtian Army, the Japanese are willing to provide you with a loan of 10 million. As for the arms, there is no need to worry. As long as we take down the Fengtian Arsenal, there will be a large number of production lines. Don't say goodbye.
Yes, Zhang Tinglan is really great in the military industry, and he can actually build a factory with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of guns, but these things will all belong to us!"
Guo Songling walked around on the ground several times. After repeated weighings, he became more determined and said to the three people: "That's what we're going to do. Brigadier Xu and Commander Zhou, you go to rectify the army. Brother Yu goes to contact the Japanese."
, and asked them to provide me with enough loan assistance. I will first lead the army to Jehol, but the marching speed will be slowed down. After Zhang Tinglan arrives at Shanhaiguan and Kan Chaoxi expresses regret, I will lead the army back to Fengtian."
"Okay, what should we do long ago!" Xu Youfang said with a smile: "When the time comes, we will cooperate internally and externally to capture Fengtian in one fell swoop. As long as we succeed, Premier Duan of Beiyang and the Japanese will support us, and Zhang Tinglan does not need to be proud.
It’s still unclear who will win!” (To be continued...)
