After Zhang Tinglan arranged the task, these cabinet officials also had a clear idea in their minds, so they went to make arrangements one after another. Only Tang Shaoyi and Wang Shuhan stayed.
Zhang Xueliang suddenly said: "During my time in Europe and the United States, the Japanese sent people to look for me."
"Japanese?" Wang Shuhan's eyes widened immediately: "They killed the commander-in-chief. We are sworn enemies. How can they have the nerve to find the commander-in-chief?"
"The person who came here is actually not a Japanese, but a Chinese. Everyone must know him as Wang Jingwei. After he found me, he told me that what he saw may not be true, and my father did not die of the Japanese.
But someone wanted to take my father's place, so he killed me."
"Shameless." Wang Shuhan suddenly said sharply: "You are simply confusing right and wrong. When the commander was killed, we had already caught the murderer Daisaku Kawamoto. How could they dare to talk nonsense?"
Zhang Xueliang smiled slightly: "Yes, I, Zhang Hanqing, am not a child. I naturally know whether what they said is true or false, but I also wanted to know what they were thinking, so I pretended to have contact with Wang Jingwei several times. His
It means that I should cooperate with Japan to reassemble the old troops of Fengjun and regain the power."
Tang Shaoyi couldn't help but said: "The Japanese really do everything they can. It's a shame they can say such things. Young Marshal, please don't be fooled!"
"That's right, when my father was dying, he had already entrusted important matters to old uncle and Zhuoyan. Moreover, Zhuoyan defeated the Japanese. If he wants to avenge his country and family in the future, he will point to Zhuoyan. But it's just that Zhuoyan defeated the Japanese again.
From what the Japanese said, I found that they are probably still wooing old people from Fengjun, trying to do something bad for Zhu Yan."
Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly: "It would be abnormal if the Japanese did not have any conspiracy. But I think everyone should also reflect on why the great powers can frequently interfere in our internal affairs. In addition to the various privileges and powerful power of the great powers, there is also
There is an important reason, and that is the separation of regions and factions!"
Tang Shaoyi heard this and nodded: "Yes, since the Republic of China, the calls for autonomy in various places have become louder and louder. As a result, they have been artificially divided into people from the province and people from other provinces, and then divided into new schools and old schools. The results are endless.
As a result, our strength became smaller and smaller, and all our energy was consumed in internal fighting."
"Mr. Shaochuan, so I ask you to come up with a new plan. All provincial officials must be replaced. Promotions in different places must be implemented to break up local power."
"My humble opinion. Are the three eastern provinces included?"
"That's right!" Zhang Tinglan nodded without hesitation: "I plan to transfer Wang Yongjiang to serve as deputy prime minister and concurrently director of the Yangtze River Regional Government Affairs Committee."
In fact, one of the most stubborn and powerful factions now is Fengjun in the three eastern provinces! Zhang Tinglan was able to transfer Wang Yongjiang away, which shows his determination. Tang Shaoyi nodded without hesitation. It seems that this chaos is also over.
It's not that there are no benefits. As the saying goes, when chaos reigns, the moment of phoenix nirvana may come.
…
"Sir, your newspaper."
Ishihara Wanji was in a restaurant, waiting for news. Beijing was becoming more and more chaotic, and a large number of officials and people were fleeing. He had already seen the hope that the conspiracy would succeed, and he stepped up his activities, hoping to light another fire.
While waiting for the connection, I suddenly heard this. Ishihara's face suddenly became unhappy: "I didn't buy the newspaper, you made a mistake."
"Yes, it was sent by a gentleman. He said it contained what you wanted."
When Ishihara heard this, he was a little confused. Could it be that his subordinates were sending information to him in this way? Ishihara Wan'er couldn't help but stood up and opened the door of the private room.
A waiter outside the door handed over a newspaper with both hands. Ishihara was about to take it, but he read a trace of ridicule in the other person's eyes. Ishihara suddenly felt something bad. He turned around and was about to run away, but a cold gun came out.
It's already aimed at him.
At this time, there was a sound on the stairs, and Ji Yonghua and his people had already rushed up, surrounding Ishihara Wan'er.
"Ishihara, you didn't expect that one day it would fall into our hands."
"Who are you and why are you arresting me? I am a military attache of the Japanese embassy and I have diplomatic immunity. Let me go as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, we won't kill you. The commander is using you to make a deal with the Japanese. We can't bear to waste such a good bargaining chip!"
Ji Yonghua waved his hand and dragged Ishihara Wan'er down. This kind of arrest operation was carried out everywhere in Beijing, and almost all the agents of the great powers who were afraid of chaos in the world were caught in one sweep.
In addition to them, those who had long been bribed by the great powers were also found out. The total number of people arrested this time reached an astonishing more than 2,700 people, many of whom were important spies. Beijing's
The major prisons were overcrowded for a while, and important spies such as Ishihara Wanji were all sent to the military camps and monitored at all levels.
When the arrest operation was launched, a large number of troops also entered Beijing. Although these people usually only guard the Changlu Saltworks, their training is completely comparable to that of the regular army. Moreover, the income from the saltworks is amazing, their equipment is also quite good, and the number of live ammunition fired is
Three times that of ordinary soldiers.
In addition, the people in charge of leading the team were all veterans who had been tested by the fire of war. Therefore, after being pulled out, they were not inferior to the second-line troops of the Fengjun Army. They had an absolute advantage over the armed forces of these domestic warlords. After they entered the capital, they were immediately divided into three parts.
, part of them immediately besieged Dongjiaominxiang and other places to prevent the armed powers from committing an armed rebellion.
The second part immediately went to the Changxindian Marco Polo Bridge area, which is the key point of the Lu-Han Railway. They immediately built fortifications to deal with the rebels. The third part was to restore public order in Beijing and guard all the forty-nine cities. The common people were not allowed to cause chaos.
I ran away and there were notices posted everywhere to protect the people.
Moreover, Zhang Tinglan issued an order. Anyone who took advantage of the chaos to rob the people or commit evil crimes would be shot on the spot. Dozens of corpses fell on the street. The particularly dazzling red color made everyone calm down. The capital finally gradually became peaceful.
Just before the Fengjun troops entered the city, Japanese Minister Yoshizawa Kenkichi, British Minister Eston, and French Minister Qi Leye came together.
"Zhang Tinglan has lost control of Beijing. We should act immediately to protect the safety of overseas Chinese!"
Yoshizawa Kenkichi said loudly. Everyone knows that protecting foreigners is just an excuse. The real purpose is to use force to overthrow the government.
Aston was still a little hesitant. After all, Britain had just suffered a big loss. Three large ships of 10,000 tons were killed by the Feng army. The British Empire had lost all its dignity and face, and the British hated Zhang Tinglan.
.But the British have not completely lost their minds. Facing such a powerful opponent, any rash action will bring unbearable consequences.
"Mr. Fangze, I think we should wait until the rebels reach Beijing. It might be more appropriate for us to take action at that time."
Yoshizawa Kenji smiled slightly: "That's fine, but Mr. Eston, I think there are some promises that should be honored."
"What promise?"
"Of course it's the military expenses of the rebels. You won't forget it, right? This time the empire is doing its best to help you out of consideration for its friendship with Britain. It has promised them a total of 15 million yuan and a large amount of arms. In total,
Don’t let us bear all the expenses!”
Of course, Eston will not be deceived by Yoshizawa Kenji. Japan is the one who has no profit and cannot afford to be early. If they didn't have a grudge against Zhang Tinglan, how could they be so active!
"Mr. Yoshizawa, of course we will not let Japan pay alone. I think the three companies will bear it together!"
French Minister Qi Leye's eyes suddenly widened: "This has nothing to do with France. You should pay for it and don't involve us."
Aiston had a sincere smile on his face: "If Zhang Tinglan's regime falls, it will be a good thing for all countries. There are big pieces of cake waiting for us to divide. Now give a little more. Give a little less. There is no chance at all.
relation."
In the eyes of these guys, Fengjun might have become meat on the chopping board, just waiting for them to eat. But at this moment, the attendant ran over in panic.
"Mr. Minister, something serious has happened. The Chinese Communist Party has surrounded the embassy area and added machine guns and cannons."
"What?" The three guys stood up immediately: "How is it possible? It will take two or three days at the earliest for Fengjun to arrive in Beijing? Did they fall from the sky?"
"I don't know either, but there are indeed a large number of troops coming outside."
Upon hearing the news, the three people glanced at each other, and they all saw a strong look of fear in each other's eyes. They had once again miscalculated.
"Quick, get those idiots back!"
The arrival of the army means that the overall situation has been decided. With the strength of the embassy, it may be useful in the Beiyang era, but if you encounter Fengjun, you will basically die. If you want to cause trouble in Beijing, there is no chance. If we don't let those
The intelligence personnel retreated quickly, but it was dangerous.
But it was already too late at this time. Most of these guys had fallen into Feng Jun's control. After receiving the following report, Yoshizawa Kenji and Eston were both dumbfounded. Now they were in big trouble.
All the forces in China have been lost. Years of painstaking efforts have all come to naught. In the future, how can we obtain intelligence from the Chinese government, how can we infiltrate, and how can we carry out sabotage. In the past few battles with Fengjun, the power in our hands has been greatly affected.
Little loss, now it has been uprooted.
They were so regretful that their bowels were filled with regret, but there was no good way to do it. When they met Zhang Tinglan, all their previous methods were useless.
"Mr. Fangze, since Zhang Tinglan is prepared, Wang Chengbin and the others will definitely not succeed. Why don't you inform them as soon as possible!"
"No need, since he is a loser, there is no need!"
Yoshizawa Kenkichi couldn't care less at this time, and he regretted it now more than ever. In fact, three days ago, China had proposed to export the ore of Mushan Iron Mine to Japan.
This is very attractive to the island country, and Japan also wants to give up and temporarily use China's resources to restore its strength. However, there is another faction in the Japanese government who believes that if they take the opportunity to defeat Fengjun, everything will be theirs.
That's why I took a decisive plunge, but now I completely lost all my chips, and may not even get the original benefits.
The Japanese have too much time to take care of themselves, so how can they care about those lackeys! In fact, this is also the consciousness that all those who choose to be dogs should have. If they are left alone, the consequences will always be sad.
Of course, Wang Chengbin couldn't feel it at this time. He had just successfully captured Baoding. In fact, it was Rongzhen and the others who completed the task. According to Zhang Tinglan's plan, they were to hold off for half a day, then retreat step by step, and if necessary, move the railway
and bridges were blown up so that the rebels could not quickly invade Beijing.
However, with the reinforcements from Fu Zuoyi, Rong Zhen and the others persisted for about a day. Using this time, the situation in Beijing was reversed, the army continued to advance, and the defense line of Marco Polo Bridge was built.
With sufficient preparations, there was no need to fortify the walls and clear the country. Rongzhen and the others quickly retreated to Marco Polo Bridge. Wang Chengbin, Peng Shouxin and others successfully occupied Baoding, and they were overjoyed.
"Everyone, Fengjun is nothing special. Let's work harder and rush to Beijing. Minister Fangze has promised us that as long as we get to Beijing, a lot of money and weapons will be sent to us. With the great powers
With support, there is no need to be afraid of Zhang Tinglan!"
After saying that, several people laughed loudly, and they immediately marched northward.
However, this road was destined to be a road of no return. When the Zhili army rebelled and the capital was in danger, the Fengjun troops in the three eastern provinces also quickly mobilized, and Yang Yuting also hurriedly sent reinforcements.
Sun Anhu personally led the Fifth Division and the Tank Division, traveling day and night to enter the border as quickly as possible. It was originally estimated that it would take them more than three days to enter the border. In fact, it only took two and a half days. The front of the tank division
We had already arrived at Fengtian, and there were two aviation groups arriving at the same time.
In addition, Shen Honglie also urgently mobilized more than 20 warships and stationed them in Tianjin Port. Most of these warships were small torpedo boats, but this was also a full deterrent, and the navies of all major powers should consider it.
With the support of these technical arms, Zhang Tinglan was able to better control the overall situation, not to mention suppressing the rebellion. The main force of the rebels was all annihilated at Marco Polo Bridge.
More than a dozen senior generals, including Wang Chengbin and Peng Shouxin, were all captured, and Fengjun fought a complete victory. The great powers also lost all bargaining chips to interfere in China. Britain and Japan could only sit down and negotiate with China, and finally the situation was completely settled.
Under control.
Zhang Tinglan also breathed a sigh of relief. While all parties were actively cleaning up the aftermath, Fengjun's general accountant Wang Yongjiang entered Beijing in a very low-key manner. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, Zhang Tinglan invited him to his official residence.
"Mr. Minyuan, there is a big matter, please help me as a consultant!"
Wang Yongjiang also smiled slightly: "I also have something to ask for. The three northeastern provinces are different from the whole country. Do you have the courage to make drastic reforms?"
"That's natural. I just want to discuss with my husband this time how to use the opportunity of this big reshuffle to dilute the local color, turn the Fengjun into the National Defense Force, and turn local forces into national political power."
