Lao Zhang usually looks a little rude, but this is half his true temperament and half a mask. Many years ago, Zhang Zuolin regarded Feng Delin as his biggest opponent. If he wanted to control Fengtian, he must step on this big brother.
Therefore, Lao Zhang made great efforts to actively win over Feng Delin's right-hand man Ji Jinchun.
Of course, Ji Jinchun himself had a good impression of Zhang Zuolin, especially the last time he entered Fengtian, Zhang Tinglan gave Ji Yonghua five shops. Now that the North Market has begun construction, Ji Jinchun also sent people to inquire about one shop.
The most ordinary shophouse costs more than 2,000 yuan, and the best ones among his cost even more than 8,000 yuan.
Not only businessmen from Fengtian, but also businessmen from Jilin, Heilongjiang, and even Beijing and Tianjin are watching. A rough calculation shows that the gift from Zhang Tinglan is worth at least 30,000 yuan.
This handiwork made Ji Jinchun completely impressed by the financial resources of the 27th Division. Recently, Feng Delin was so complacent because he obtained a Japanese loan of one million, as if he had gotten a big deal. But Ji Jinchun made a rough estimate, and the land in the North Market
It is worth more than ten million, and the room for appreciation is huge. If you want to compare financial resources, even ten Feng Delin can't beat Zhang Zuolin.
In troubled times, everyone has their own little calculations. Even if they can't cede territory and become king, they still have to rely on a big tree to enjoy the shade with a leader with great potential. Obviously Ji Jinchun is more optimistic about Zhang Zuolin. When Feng Delin met Zhang Zuolin, Ji Jinchun
Jin Chun also spoke for Zhang Zuolin and asked Ji Yonghua to send a note.
"Feng Delin got a loan of one million yen from Miki and two thousand rifles. His strength has increased a lot. He is already a serious problem for us!"
"Seventh uncle, the 28th Division is not worthy of being our opponent. The only people who can stop you from taking charge of Fengtian and even the Northeast are the Japanese. Feng Delin is just a pawn of the Japanese now!"
Lao Zhang squinted his eyes and nodded slightly: "It is true. First there was the Zongshe Party, and then there was Feng Delin. Their bosses behind the scenes are all Japanese. This time Japan encouraged Feng Delin to intercept us, just to use Feng Delin's hand to eliminate them.
Drop me, but my brother Feng hasn’t made up his mind yet, so he let me pass easily."
"Commander, what conditions did you agree to Feng Delin?" Yuan Jinkai asked: "The 28th Division's troops are not weak, but we must not give Feng Delin an advantage!"
With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Lao Zhang said casually: "I told Feng Delin that as long as our two families join forces and find an opportunity to expel Duan Zhigui, he will serve as the governor of Fengtian, and I will help him." Lao Zhang looked contemptuous, obviously he would not do it.
Fulfill this promise.
When it comes to the level of cunning, Feng Delin is obviously not as good as Lao Zhang. Zhang Zuolin had already taken Fengtian as his own, so how could he give it to Feng Delin? In fact, Feng Delin's actions this time were too hasty. When he saw that Zhang Zuolin had become the
The commander-in-chief of the bandit suppression climbed on his head and became furious.
With Sanmu encouraging him again, Lao Feng led his men to stop Zhang Zuolin. However, in fact, Feng Delin had not figured out how to deal with Lao Zhang. Whether he should kill Lao Zhang directly or detain him and threaten the 27th Division, Feng Delin had no idea.
.In the end, Lao Feng made the most wrong decision, that is, he listened to Lao Zhang's deception. Not only did he let Zhang Zuolin go, but he also agreed to cooperate with Lao Zhang.
As the saying goes, opportunities must never come again if they are lost. Lao Feng has lost his last chance to change the strength comparison between him and Zhang Zuolin.
"Seventh uncle, if Feng Delin can easily intercept us, he will probably rely on the Japanese to provide him with intelligence and even action plans. Since the Gengzi Revolution, Japan has gained the power to garrison troops in Shanhaiguan and other places. After the Russo-Japanese War, Japan
It also occupied the South Manchuria Railway, and there were garrisons along it. For example, when entering Huanggutun, the throat of Fengtian, the Japanese had garrisons. It can be said that the Japanese eyes are everywhere. Miki cannot yet represent the Japanese government, and its power is limited. But if the Japanese government
If you really want to plot against us, it’s easy to dodge an open attack but hard to defend against a hidden one!"
Of course Zhang Tinglan knew that Lao Zhang died in a Japanese conspiracy. He died amidst the explosion in Huanggutun. He just took advantage of this good opportunity to remind Zhang Zuolin to be more careful.
"What I said is right." Yuan Jinkai was a scholar. This time he was intercepted by Feng Delin. Looking back, he was a little scared: "Commander, we should really strengthen our defenses and not let the enemy take advantage of the situation."
"It's easy to say, but can you avoid it if you want to? Let's talk about the Beijing-Fenghuang Railway. It is the lifeline of entering the customs. Can we not go? The Manchurian Railway attachment is to the west of Fengtian, where the little devil's garrison is.
They practice there every day, can we drive them out?"
What Lao Zhang said was true. Although Yuan Jinkai was usually resourceful, he didn't know what to do when faced with this situation.
Zhang Tinglan thought for a while and said: "Uncle Seven, I see there are only two ways at hand. The first is to strengthen intelligence work. We must take the initiative to inquire about the movements of the Japanese, strive to obtain Japanese intelligence in advance, and then take precautions. Second
The second is to overhaul the roads to avoid Japanese control. The railways are closely watched by the foreign powers. It is not easy to build them for a while, so we will start with the roads. Now there are thousands of workers building the North Market, so we will use the North Market as a base.
Train a large number of construction workers and then repair the roads."
With one more road, there is one more choice. With the road connected, even if you are walking on the railway, you can use the road to get around if you feel danger. Everyone knows the principle of losing sheep by taking the wrong road. There are too many roads, and the Japanese want to play
With Huanggutun's hand, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
"Well, that's well said!" Lao Zhang nodded approvingly: "Mr. Yuan, just follow Tinglan's instructions and help me plan the path, and we'll take action as soon as we get back!"
As he spoke, Lao Zhang touched his neck and said with a smile: "The seeds on my head feel uncomfortable when someone holds them in my hands!"
The special train finally returned to Fengtian smoothly, just at noon. Zhang Zuoxiang, Sun Liechen, Tang Yulin, Zhang Jinghui and others had already been waiting eagerly at the station.
There is one person in charge of the family, and Lao Zhang is the backbone of the family. Once Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing, they were a little restrained in doing things, fearing that something would go wrong. This was the reason why the head of the family was absent.
In particular, Zhang Zuoxiang was assigned to manage military affairs, and he had an even heavier burden. Among the 27th Division, Zhang Zuoxiang was far less qualified than Tang Yulin, but this time he surpassed the tiger and became the number one person who actually stayed in Fengtian. Tang Yulin
I definitely feel uncomfortable.
This is also true. In the past two days, Tang Yulin had been asking Zhang Zuoxiang for military pay, guns and cannons. Moreover, his soldiers often went to the streets to cause trouble and disrupt public order, which gave Zhang Zuoxiang a very headache.
He had no choice but to meet some of Tang Yulin's conditions, give him some money and food, and stop his mouth. At the same time, he asked Sun Anhu to step up patrols and pull all the armed police corps to the street to maintain it with all his strength. Sun Liechen also helped, and Zhang Jinghui also stood by.
On their side.
With an advantage of three to one, he was able to temporarily suppress Tang Yulin. When Lao Zhang got off the train, he saw several old brothers waiting on the platform. Lao Zhang also took a few steps and grabbed him first.
Zhang Zuoxiang said: "Fuchen, thank you for your hard work!"
"Brother Qi, why are you so hard at home? But you went to Beijing alone. Everyone is worried!"
"It's okay. I'm blessed with great fortune. Besides, I'm not alone. Why doesn't Tinglan still follow me? Fuchen, this kid is so capable now. Even Lao Yuan regards him as a treasure and even sent him a message.
, I am preparing to transfer him to the imperial court to serve him after he ascends the throne!"
Lao Zhang laughed loudly as he spoke. Zhang Zuoxiang and the others only saw the news about the debate between Zhang Tinglan and Yang Shuqing in the newspaper. As for more details, they didn't know yet.
Now that he saw his son, Zhang Zuoxiang glared at Zhang Tinglan fiercely: "You are a little brat who is too impatient to live, and you want to offend those scholars. The newspapers in the past two days have almost dug up our family's ancestral graves!"
"Uncle, please don't make the mistake of blaming Brother Tinglan. They are all unscrupulous scholars. Brother Tinglan also told me a truth. If you can't defeat your opponent in business, you must stink the opponent morally. These two things
Those scholars today can only slander us for conspiring to frame us, but they dare not respond directly to Brother Tinglan’s doubts. In fact, we are the winners!"
Zhang Xueliang was also present during the argument. Zhang Tinglan won, and he was proud of it, as if he had won.
This time not only Lao Zhang came back, but Song Zhongyi, Kuang Rongguang and others also needed to be settled immediately. Zhang Zuoxiang gave Sun Anhu full responsibility and asked him to mobilize 200 armed policemen to help move the machines and find accommodation for the workers.
.
Lao Zhang returned to the Tiger Hall surrounded by everyone and introduced everyone in detail about his trip to Beijing, especially about being intercepted by Feng Delin when he came back. Zhang Zuoxiang and the others had just learned that there was such a dangerous situation.
Everyone is a little nervous.
Zhang Tinglan did not go to Tiger Hall together. He also wanted to help Song Zhongyi find the site of the textile factory. However, he did not need to be specifically responsible for this kind of thing. Instead, he handed Song Zhongyi over to Wang Yongjiang. Zhang Tinglan became the hands-off shopkeeper. Kuang Rongguang and
Wang Yongjiang was also an old friend. He brought Bayuzao to find Wang Yongjiang, and Zhang Tinglan irresponsibly handed over all the reception work to Wang Yongjiang.
He quickly went to Daosheng Bank to find Fred. Firstly, he wanted to see if he had gained anything during this period. Secondly, he wanted Fred to help establish an overseas study fund to support international students.
"Old friend, I'm back. Is there any good news?"
When Fred saw Zhang Tinglan arriving, his face suddenly lit up with joy: "Zhang, maybe it's God's blessing. Every time I see you, there is good news."
Fred glanced at his pocket watch casually: "Sorry, there are only two minutes left. We will talk later. Zhang, you hide in the private room at the back first, and I will let you watch a play!"
Zhang Tinglan was pushed to a single room at the back in a daze, when a shadowy middle-aged man came to Fred's office.
"Mr. Miki, welcome!"
It’s time to go to Sanjiang. Remember to vote for Sanjiang. The chrysanthemums are bleeding. I’m going to have three updates today. Please help me.
