Chapter 106 105. Internal strife in Fengtian

When Yuan proclaimed himself emperor, both Hubei and Fengtian had disputes over generals and commanders. Let’s recount it now.It turns out that General Hubei is Duan Zhigui, Yuan's cadre, but Wang Zhanyuan, who is good at military affairs, doesn't pay attention to Xiao Duan, and wants to force Xiao Duan to leave Hubei; My brother was transferred from the governor of Zhili to the governor of Fengtian because Zhang Xiluan was kind to Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin. Now Zhang is the commander of the 27th Division and Feng is the commander of the 28th Division. The two commanders objected and sent Zhang Xiluan to supervise him. On the one hand, Zhang had been outside the customs for a long time and had a great reputation, and on the other hand, he was old with Zhang and Feng, so it should be a suitable person and place.How do you know that times change and nothing stays the same in the world. When Zhang and Feng found out that the old chief came to Fengtian because of relying on them as political capital, their attitude towards the old chief was quite indifferent.

Both Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui were stared at by their subordinates, and they all cried to Yuan, especially Xiao Duan (Duan Zhigui was called Xiao Duan at the time to distinguish him from Duan Qirui), crying to Yuan again and again, Duan Zhigui's father, Duan Youheng, was Zhang Zuolin's guarantor when Zhang Zuolin was under his care, so Yuan thought that it might be possible to ease the situation by exchanging Zhang and Duan. The two governors switched. When Zhang Xiluan received the order of the governor of Hubei, he wrote a poem: "Twenty years ago, a second lieutenant, now Kaifu King City of Hubei." The moon is high, and the wind wheel alone is the first to lead the horse and pawns, lest I teach others to stain the robes with tears."

When Duan Zhigui came to take over the job, he went to Zhang Zuolin's headquarters to stay first, to show his deep friendship with Zhang.At this time, Xiao Duan was Yuan's celebrity, the number one supporter of the Hongxian monarchy in the Beiyang Army, Duan Qirui's family and fellow countrymen, and Xiao Duan's father was kind to Zhang Zuolin, so Zhang Zuolin refused Xiao Duan inconveniently. When I took office, although I was 120,000 unwilling in my heart, let me suppress my resentment for the time being. When Emperor Yuanzhi was in full swing, Yuan once dispatched soldiers above the division commander to Beijing to comfort him. He especially tried his best to win over Zhang Zuolin. Lead the army, monitor the referendum with live ammunition, and create public opinion that is entirely in favor of the monarchy.

When Yuan Shikai conferred titles on his subordinates, Zhang was conferred the title of second-class viscount. According to Yuan’s common practice when conferring titles, division commanders and guardian envoys of the lieutenant-general class were only awarded captains of Qingche, and Zhang Zuolin was awarded the second-class viscount with only one division commander. , which means that Yuan made an exception to win over him.However, Zhang Zi thought that he had made great efforts to the Emperor Hongxian, so he could not be granted the title of Marquis, so he was greatly disappointed and submitted an application for leave immediately.At that time, the so-called leave was the harbinger of resignation, and resignation was the beginning of free action.So frightened, General Duan Shang went to the door to investigate the disease himself, but Zhang Zuolin blocked the door behind closed doors.Yuan wanted to divert the tiger away from the mountain and asked Zhang to be the governor of Suiyuan. Of course Zhang refused. How could he leave his old nest to serve the sky?

When the national defense army defeated Yuan, Yuan dispatched troops to march south. In February of the 5th year of the Republic of China, Yuan called Zhang Zuolin to Beijing to discuss the issue of the southern expedition. Yuan said many good things to Zhang, made many good wishes, and persuaded Zhang Zuolin to lead troops to Hunan.Yuan thought that Zhang would be able to bargain, but unexpectedly, Zhang actually agreed, patted his chest and was willing to be a striker.Yuan felt that Zhang was born in the green forest after all, and he had a chivalrous spirit. After Zhang promised to send troops, he wanted to solve the technical problems of dispatching troops. Yuan took special care of the Army Command Office and prioritized solving Zhang's needs. It will be even worse in the end, because he has evidence that General Duan has lost millions of public funds. This is all Fengtian's blood and sweat. On April 20, 5, Xiao Duan Weifu sneaked to Beijing to complain, and Yuan advised him to go back to his office first, and then make further calculations.At this time, Yuan received a secret report that Zhang Zuolin was ordering Yuan Jinkai to draft the constitution of the Fengtian Security Association. Yuan thought that during the Revolution of 1911, Fengtian also created a Security Association to break away from the Qing court. The organization of the Security Association was disguised independence; The bombing situation in the south was already very troublesome. Naturally, he was afraid that there would be troubles in the north. He knew that there was no time to delay. On April 22, he issued an order to appoint Zhang Zuolin, the commander of the 27th Division, as the general of Shengjing to supervise the military affairs of Fengtian. .Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division, was appointed as the Assistant Military Affairs Officer.Here is a description of Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin's grievances and past events:

Feng Delin is a native of Fengtian Beizhen County. He fell into the grass in a rage because he could not bear the oppression of cruel officials and tyranny in his hometown.He was arrested and imprisoned by the Russians for opposing imperial Russia. After he was released from prison, he organized a volunteer army that appeared and disappeared. At this time, the so-called volunteer army was not an official army, so they were collectively called Hu Bandits. In the twenty-ninth year of Guangxu (1903), Zhang Xiluan served as the military guard in the east, and Zeng Zigu, the prefect of Xinminfu, was ordered by Fengtian General Zengqi to appease the bandits. Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin were recruited at the same time.When Feng was a Hu bandit, he and Zhang Zuolin each led a branch, and they did not belong to each other. The strength of Feng's department was not weaker than that of Zhang's department.Then Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the commander of the Front Patrol Battalion for his meritorious service, and Feng Delin was also appointed as the commander of the Left Patrol Battalion.

In the third year of Xuantong's 1911, Wu Jinglian, chairman of Fengtian Provincial Advisory Bureau, Zhang Rong, Lan Tianwei, etc., planned the revolution in Shenyang. At that time, there were only patrols in the middle of Shenyang, and some were stationed in Tieling. There were no other troops.A mixed association of the new army, Lan Tianwei, is stationed in the North Camp outside Shenyang. He can occupy Shenyang as soon as the gunshots are fired.Unfortunately, this great opportunity, he lost.At that time, Zhao Erxun was indeed threatened, so he decided to transfer Wu Jun from the Houlu Patrol Battalion to be promoted to Jin Province to join the guard. It is more reliable to use Wu as a member of the army.Zhang Huilin, who was stationed in the provincial capital by Zhang Zuolin, knew about the incident and immediately notified Zhang Zuolin. Zhang thought it was a good opportunity, so Taonan led a total of nine battalions of horse infantry and rushed to Shenyang in the starry night. Taonan was in the north of Liaoyuan. After passing Liaoyuan, Wu Junsheng heard about it and welcomed Zhang Xiaoliu.Zhang said that there was something at home in Shenyang and he had to go back to take care of it, and he could not stay. Zhang's family had already arrived in Shenyang, and Wu received Zhao's order to transfer Wu.After Zhang arrived in Shenyang, he went to Jin to see Zhao Erxun to plead guilty, but Chen Ming left Fangjin Province without authorization, and could not wait for permission because of the emergency.Since Zhao Yizhang came to the province, he had to admit it due to the situation, and immediately prevented Wu from coming to the province. On September 1, Zhao immediately called a military meeting between the old and new generals to discuss how to deal with the current situation.At that time, the generals of the new army who were invited included the commanders of the Second Mixed Association, the Third Town, and the Twentieth Town, the Xie Tong, and the chiefs of staff of each town.The general of the old army was the commander of the five-way patrol.Before the official meeting, the old and new generals held preparatory meetings to discuss their attitudes during the meeting.New army generals Zhang Shaozeng, Lan Tianwei, Lu Yongxiang, etc. discussed the results and advocated the declaration of independence for the three eastern provinces.The generals of the old army were convened by Zhang Zuolin, and decided to unanimously support Governor Zhao Erxun's idea of ​​"protecting the environment and the people", holding a wait-and-see attitude for the time being, and making arrangements to deal with the new army.

At 4:00 p.m. that day, the meeting was officially announced. Zhao Erxun first stood up and said: "The rebellion in Wuhan, the imperial court sent a large army to suppress it, and it will be suppressed soon. Book".Then he said: "Now we in the three northeastern provinces had better keep calm, don't express our attitude, and play by ear. Wuhan really succeeded. If we respond again, we must have our share at that time. If it fails, we didn't express it at that time, so naturally we will respond." It’s none of our business. This is my opinion, if you agree or not, please express your opinion.” After Zhao finished speaking, the generals attending the meeting looked at each other, and no one spoke.Zhao also said: "At present, the imperial court has not yet issued an edict. Our priority is to protect the environment and the people. With this purpose, no matter who comes, we can do it in a dignified manner. The local people live and work in peace and contentment. Credit." After a short pause, he continued: "We should vote solemnly today, whoever agrees with my opinion, please raise your hand."

When Zhang Zuolin entered the venue, he held two round bomb-like towel bags in his hand.After Zhao Gang finished speaking, Zhang Zuolin first raised his hands in agreement, and the other leaders of the four routes also raised their hands.However, the town commanders, coordinators, and chiefs of staff of the new army are still silent and motionless. Zhao Erxun looked at the situation in the venue and felt that it would not end well, so he said: "You are all young, and you will always be impulsive when things happen. I am a few years older than you. I have gone through everything and can listen to me. , everyone will not suffer. If you have any difficulties, just speak up." The venue was still silent.

Just when the situation was embarrassing, Zhang Zuolin stood up and spoke: "The Governor advises everyone to protect the environment and the people, not expressing your attitude for the time being, but earnestly speaking, it can be said that it is the utmost benevolence. If you do not accept the Governor's kindness, raise your hands in favor, the people in this room today are only We will die together, and no one can escape."After speaking, he sat down and held the towel bag in both hands. Zhao took the opportunity to say again: "Everyone listen to my words to ensure that there is nothing wrong. Maybe I am getting old, and I didn't speak clearly, and everyone didn't understand. Now I will say it again." So I said the above sentence again.Then there is another vote.

This time the general of the new army, Lu Yongxiang, raised his hand first, and everyone followed suit. Zhao Erxun said happily: "This is passed by all, and everyone finally gave me an old face." The meeting came to an end. After the meeting, Lan Tianwei grabbed Lu Yongxiang's sleeve and said: "You guy, what do we say outside, don't count when we finish talking, and raise your hand inside." Revolution, didn't you see the two bombs of Lao Zhang? If they exploded, would we still be alive? A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, I saved everyone. And my hands are only raised to the ears, which is only half of my approval , half objected, you didn't see it clearly, and raised your hands in a daze, who told you to raise it? How can you blame me!" There was a wave of independence for the new army, and another wave of independence for the Democratic Party.Wu Jinglian, chairman of the Fengtian Advisory Council, called a meeting on September 22 in the name of "Preparatory Meeting of the Security Council" and planned to declare independence at the meeting.When Zhao Erxun was invited to attend, Zhao immediately discussed countermeasures with Zhang Zuolin.Zhang was also invited to attend as the leader of the local army, and secretly arranged to assign a certain officer to deal with a certain congressman.Zhao Kaizhang arrived at the Advisory Council at 2 p.m., and Wu Jinglian announced the opening of the meeting. Wu said: "In order to respond to the Wuhan revolution, we should immediately establish the Fengtian National Security Association, recommend the governor as the chairman, and declare independence from the Qing court." Said After that, ask the Governor to stamp the drafted Declaration of Independence.After Zhao Du heard this, he said in a panic: "If you want self-government, you can still discuss it. Independence is rebellion. How can you do that? Please choose another president! I really dare not be." Wu continued: "The revolution is overthrowing the Manchukuo. Clearly, conditions cannot be compromised, and I, Wu Jinglian, will not care about life or death for the sake of the revolution." At this time, Zhang Zuolin sat facing Wu. At this point in Wu's words, Zhang pulled out his pistol and slapped it on the table, saying: "I, Zhang Zuolin, have guns if there are people, and people who have guns. Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, today we must respect the governor's opinion..." Wu Jinglian slipped from the chair in fright before Zhang finished speaking, without saying a word.Seeing the dejection of the speaker and realizing that the plainclothes officers sitting around had pistols in their arms, the other congressmen agreed with Zhao's opinion and did not issue the Declaration of Independence. They only lowered the yellow dragon flag and raised the yellow flag instead.The word "Guangfu" originally planned to be written on the flag was also changed to "Fengtian National Security Association" and became the flag.Under Zhang's guard, Zhao Erxun became the president, and telegraphed Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces to establish Jilin and Heilongjiang "National Security Associations" respectively.At this time, the power of the three eastern provinces was still in the hands of Zhao Erxun, exercising rule on behalf of the Qing court. Because of Zhang's great achievements, Zhao has a special love for Zhang. In the future, in all official documents, Zhao always ranks Zhang above Feng when Zhang and Feng are ranked, and Zhang leads his troops to drive away. After joining the New Army, they will be stationed in Shenyang, so although Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin have the same status in terms of military strength and military positions, Zhang has already surpassed Feng in politics. As far as Feng Delin is concerned, he absolutely does not recognize this fact. He believes that he and Zhang Zuolin are equal in status, regardless of superiority or inferiority.He also has a fiery temper, so after Yuan announced the appointment of Fengtian's military chief, Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the general of Shengjing to supervise Fengtian's military affairs, and Feng Delin became a junior military assistant, Feng was very dissatisfied. Zhang Zuolin seized the opportunity, drove away Duan Zhigui, and won General Shengjing, who became the Governor of Fengtian. How did he know that from the day he received the general's new order, he was in great distress. Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division, thought he was worth as much as Zhang. When he expelled Xiaoduan, Feng also responded in Guangning, the defense area. Now he has only an empty military assistant, and he is very dissatisfied. , Feng also refused to congratulate. Zhang Dawei was disappointed. He began to taste the bitter fruit of his bosses Zhang Xiluan and Duan Zhigui. He had to deal with unruly subordinates. He ordered Wu Xingquan and Ma Longtan, two guards, to meet Feng Shutong and persuade Feng Mian to help him. Wu and Ma were lobbyists for Zhang, but they blocked him.As a last resort, Zhang had no choice but to visit Feng personally, and humbly said many good words to Feng that brothers in need are blessed to share.Feng still angrily put forward the conditions for taking office, that is, to set up another military affairs sub-office. Its organization is the same as that of the military superintendent's office. It is said that Feng Yao and Zhang are "equal in earth and beauty". Zhang Zuolin lost his arms and legs. Although he was willing to give in, he was unwilling to give in to this extent.Therefore, he asked the central government for instructions, and Yuan replied to Zhang: "The establishment of the assistant office is not in line with the system, so it is inconvenient to approve it, but the office fee of the military assistant office is 150,000 yuan per month." Zhang deeply admired Yuan's solution, so he took this telegram I went to see Feng with 150,000 yuan in office expenses for the first month. I thought Feng would agree, but Feng refused. At the same time, he sent a telegram to Yuan to request his resignation. Yuan is an old treacherous man, he is selfishly pleased with the rivalry between Zhang and Feng, because he is used to making his subordinates restrain each other, and he does not want to cultivate a local figure who dominates one side. So he asked his old brother Zhang Xiluan to serve as a mediator in Fengtian with the qualifications of his old boss, but "Kuai Ma Zhang" refused. He said: "I am old, and these upstarts will not listen to me." talk." Feng's attitude became more and more tough, and he was about to have a showdown with Zhang. Zhang still humiliated and refused to turn against Feng. Zhang sent Sun Zhanao, the brigade commander of the 25th Brigade, with gifts and 300,000 yuan in cash, to Guangning, Feng's defense area. Reward the army, and tactfully and respectfully persuade Feng to return to the province. On May 20, 5, Feng led a total of five battalions of horses, infantry, and artillery, marched into the provincial capital, and went to the provincial office of the 28th Division to rest.Knowing that Feng had come to the province, Zhang Zuolin went to visit Feng's office in person and tried his best to express his goodwill, but Feng's attitude was still so arrogant and he ignored him.Zhang went back to the general's mansion, but Feng did not go back to pay homage. That night Zhang prepared wine for Feng at the general's office. Feng refused to attend the banquet because he said he was uncomfortable. Geisha come to drink.Feng Ju sat at the head, like a wooden man, motionless. Feng came to the province this time not to resign. He sent a telegram to the central government, saying that the 28th Division needs to be expanded, and that the Seventh Battalion should be allowed to be recruited. He also designated Beizhen County as the location of the Military Affairs Gang Office, and the regular expenses for the office and the need for additional troops. Please ask the President to order General Shengjing to allocate all the salaries and weapons.Beizhen County is Feng's hometown, and Guanshan, a famous doctor in the Northeast, is located in the county.Feng also ordered that 500,000 yuan be assigned to the Fengtian Finance Department as funds for the preparation and training of the flight team (that is, the Air Force).He only stayed in Shenyang for one day this trip, and went to Beizhen County to inspect the defense the next day. Zhang still used soft workers for Feng. He hired a large number of craftsmen to renovate the provincial office of the 28th Division. The interior decoration was completely new, especially Feng's office was exactly the same as his own. Help to come to the province to find a job. On June 6, Feng brought a large number of people to Malay Province, and proposed three "minimum" conditions to Zhang: (1) The authority of the deputy is exactly the same as that of General Shengjing. (2) The province's employment administration consults with each other. (3) The Department of Finance allocated 200,000 yuan for the purchase of additional aircraft for the 28th Division (the original claim was 500,000 yuan). Zhang asked Feng to make a concession, but Feng firmly refused, and Zhang humbly went to see Feng, but Feng blocked him.Zhang really couldn't bear it anymore, so he telegraphed Yuan to resign, and asked Yuan to send Zhang Xiluan to help maintain local order in a few days.At this time, it was the time when Yuan "Emperor" died, and the world was spinning. Beijing was busy with important affairs, and no one had time to meddle in their affairs. Since Beijing couldn't control Fengtian's affairs, Feng Nai gave Zhang an ultimatum to reply within the same day. Zhang then asked Wu Junsheng to ease the situation. When Wu saw that Feng Shi had just mentioned the word "general", Feng yelled, "What is he?" Wu said a lot of good things to Feng, and made a lot of mistakes. Feng Nai proposed three final and minimum conditions: (1) Employment and administration must be approved; (2) Fengtian's military and administrative expenses are not allowed to exceed the budget. (3) Zhang Zuolin personally led all officers above the battalion commander of the 27th Division to the office of the 28th Division to formally apologize. Zhang understood Feng's personality, he couldn't bargain, and the more he bargained, the higher the bargain.If he wanted to compromise, he had no choice but to immediately agree to Feng's harsh conditions. On June 11, with a wry smile, Zhang Zuolin led his senior officers to the office of the 28th Division to apologize to Feng, and agreed to all of Feng's conditions.This trip made Feng Ping angry, and he also greeted him with a smile on his face. He also invited Wu Xingquan and Ma Longtan, two guards, to accompany Zhang Cha for a few rounds of mahjong, and everyone played haha. Zhang Zuolin was very angry. He felt that this trip was a lot of embarrassment. A few days later, the Shanghai newspaper published the scene of him apologizing to Feng. He was so angry that he could not leave the house for several days and ordered Capture the interviewer and start checking the post. Zhang needs to really cooperate with Feng, and Feng cooperates with Zhang falsely.Soon after this apparent reconciliation, he detained all the county police chiefs appointed by Zhang in his defense area, and asked them to confess how much red envelopes they had spent to buy shortages. He declared that he would settle accounts with Zhang.This is the method used by Zhang Zuolin in the past to deal with Duan Zhigui and force Duan to step down. Feng is now treating him in his own way.Then, he sent out a telegram to lead the whole army to resign. The telegram said: "Zhang Du is extremely wise and can rectify the military. All the officers and men in Lin's department are subordinates. It is advisable to retreat from the virtuous way." Taking retreat as a way of advancing, Feng led the whole army to resign this time is a breakthrough in the resignation of military men.Zhang couldn't take it anymore, so he solemnly asked Feng what was his purpose?Feng made a condition that he would concurrently serve as governor, but Zhang naturally refused to give in at the last moment, and he resolutely rejected Feng. After Duan Qirui became the Prime Minister with power and responsibility, he saw that the two tigers outside the customs were at loggerheads, so he sent a telegram to invite Feng to Beijing to discuss important affairs. ignore.The Fengtian Corporation appealed to both parties to work together, to put the overall situation first, and not to go to extremes. General Zhang promised not to resort to force, but the air in Fengtian Province was tense, the fighting was strict, and there were no pedestrians at night. The situation was extremely serious. On February 28, 6th year of the Republic of China, the Duan cabinet invited the most noble transfer person, that is, Zhao Erxun, the highest military and political chief of Fengtian who had recruited Zhang and Feng's armies before. This Zhao Marshal took a third-class train to Fengtian.When this man became the president of the Museum of Qing History in the 2nd year of the Republic of China, he took the third-class train from Jinan to Tianjin and from Tianjin to Beijing. In Beijing, he only took rickshaws and not cars. After Zhao arrived in Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin immediately made a special trip to visit Feng. The next day (June 1) Zhao went to visit Feng.Because of his reputation, Jilin governor Meng Enyuan and Heilongjiang governor Bi Guifang sent their chiefs of staff to visit Zhao, and Zhao Nai called a mediation meeting, but nothing came of it. On March 6, Feng returned to the Guangning base area, and the mediation was terminated. When the dispute between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin was intensifying, Tang Yulin, the brigade commander of the 53rd Brigade, a subordinate of Zhang Zuolin, fell out with Zhang again. The fuse of Zhang and Tang's emotional breakup was the friction between Fengtian police chief Wang Yongjiang and Fengtian military circles, and Zhang Yiwang was caused.During the Russo-Japanese War in the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), Wang Yongjiang served as the Liaoyang police officer, which was appreciated by Zhao Erxun. He wanted to be given the post of Civil Affairs Secretary, but Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the military at that time, opposed it.When Zhang himself presided over the Fengtian military administration, he also regarded Wang Yongjiang as highly as Zhao, and gave Wang the power of the police administration to rectify the province's police affairs. Tang Yulin and other direct soldiers were deeply dissatisfied with this. Rejecting the king's participation was a sign of insult, and Tang's troops often clashed with the police.When the incident got to Zhang's ears, Zhang Zuolin didn't protect his shortcomings at all. He severely punished the officers and soldiers who caused the trouble, and summoned Tang and others to give lectures and reprimanded him. Tang felt embarrassed. The discord between Zhang and Tang was exactly Feng Delin's opportunity, and he tried his best to provoke it.Feng Zeng sent Zhang Haipeng, commander of the 55th Brigade of the 28th Division, to sneak into the 27th Division and instigate a mutiny.Zhang Zuoxiang invited some senior officers of the 27th Division to talk, and asked everyone to put the group first.The officers of the 27th Division also believed that it was okay to deal with Wang Yongjiang, but not against Zhang Zuolin. Tang Yulin was therefore isolated and led two companies to flee to Xinmin Village.After Tang left, Zhang Zeng wrote a very earnest letter to Tang, the full letter is as follows: "Brother Gechen: I have been a dear friend for seventeen years, but I haven't seen each other before parting. My brother is heartbroken! Can my brother's heart not be hurt? Recalling that when I was in Sanglinzi, there were 24 people including my brother, Fuchen and my younger brother. Repeatedly bullied by Hong Fuchen, Xu Hanwu and other large groups. Jin Shoushan colluded with Russian soldiers and attacked at night. We risked our lives to break out of the siege. Take a breather. And surrendered to Xinmin, my younger brother served as the supervisor, and my elder brother served as the left sentry officer. My brother captured Du Lishan alive and made the first miracle. My younger brother was promoted to the patrol commander of the front road, and my brother was promoted to the second battalion supervisor. After that, I went to Tao In the south, the "Mongolian bandit" sixty-three toothpicks, Tao Shitao, etc., were encircled twice in the yurt, and the brothers rushed there. The younger brother was grateful, and the older brother comforted him: "I don't want to live together, but I hope to die together." "The words are still in my ears, and the arrow is always in the air. In the autumn of 1911, General Zhao sent a telegram back to the province. Chaos was imminent and people panicked. My brother led his troops to capture Heng Liu, Zhang Rong and other leaders in one night. The men fled and fled. Turned the crisis into safety. Because my younger brother was in charge of patrolling the middle road, he was reorganized into the 27th Division of the Army. The younger brother served as the division commander, and the older brother was promoted to the commander of the 53rd brigade. After General Duan resigned, his younger brother served as the governor and governor. Others saw that our division was united and strong, The future is developing smoothly. For more than ten years, the military and government of the whole province have been governed. Envy has created enmity, envy has become enmity, sowing dissension, and multi-party sabotage. At that time, I vowed to live and die together, and sometimes I was treated as a stranger because of the difference in words. My brother always valued loyalty, but now he does not think about the past, does not think about the old rain, and is determined to leave. This brother is deeply puzzled and the most distressed. What's more, the father's spirit is floating in the house, the big things are not over, the old mother is still in the church, still waiting to be cared for, brothers, wives, concubines, and grandchildren, etc., the number of index fingers is increasing day by day, and the expenses are increasing day by day. The brothers are not looking for themselves, nor are they thinking about the whole family? When you share and accept, you will be sincere about this heart. You can show it every day. If you don’t say goodbye today, there is no way to keep it. When will you change your mind, you will come to gather together, and we will share wealth and honor. You will never break your promise. If the book is not complete, please forgive me.” (Note): Notes on the names of the people in the letter: 1. Jin Dingchen later served as the head of a regiment of the 27th Division.2. The Zhao family is the spouse of Zhang Zhiyuan, and Zhao Xigu, the Fengtian representative who attended the Xuzhou Conference, is a member of his clan.3. Zhang Zuoxiang's character is Fuchen, and the family's fifth is Zhang Jinghui.4. Du Lishan is a well-known bandit leader in the green forest. He harassed the local area. Zhang invited him to drink swallows together, and he was captured at the banquet.5. Tao Shitao and others are the leaders of Mongolian bandits.Sixth, Zhang Rong is Zhang Rong, a member of the Revolutionary Party.7. In the paragraph "Others see that our division is strong...and destroy it in many ways", others refer to Feng Delin. Zhang Zuolin was unable to write, but he dictated this letter, remembering the old friendship and half-life history, it is a letter expressing true feelings. After Yuan Shikai's death, Zhang Zuolin sent money to Duan Qirui. Because Feng was hostile to Zhang and Zhang took a different route, Feng embraced Li Yuanhong and sent Chief of Staff Bai Yunchang to Beijing to sue Zhang Zuolin, saying that he had lost the morale of the army and that disaster was at stake. Ask President Li to send someone to replace him quickly, and say that Duan Qirui is protecting Zhang Yunyun. At that time, Zhang Xun, who claimed to be the leader of the Warlord Corps, was holding a meeting in Xuzhou. Zhang Zuolin sent his deputy, Zhao Xigu, to attend the meeting, and wrote to Zhang Xun repeatedly about the incident. The first letter said: "...No matter what, Lin should wait quietly. In case something unexpected happens and the sky is full of locusts, Lin will definitely treat him accordingly. If there is something that can be borrowed from my father's great efforts, I will call again at that time..." The second letter expresses the attitude of resorting to force even more blatantly.The letter says: "Shao Shuai Jun Jian: Serving humiliation, accepting inquiries, looking up to Gu Yi Yin Quan, gratitude is beyond words. Zuolin and Feng Gechen met with each other in adversity, and they have never lost their virtue in ten years. Now, let's take a closer look at it. This act of throwing stones into a well, the danger of people's hearts, can be sighed three times. It is our side who endured humiliation, and he met each other more and more. A few days ago, Feng returned to Beizhen, and Brigadier Tang also moved to Xinmin. However, according to the recent situation, Feng and Tang are actually united, and according to the secret investigation report, they actually sent their private party to recruit bandits and transport weapons. Lian Telephone Central Committee stated the method. If the central government does not give Feng a position for the sake of peace of mind, Tang can go with him, and Zuolin is not too demanding. If the central government also dislikes this assistant, it may be difficult to have a position for a while, and the other generation will return. Deliberately disturbing and disregarding the overall situation, they are really forced to come here, and they should finally resort to force. Zuolin is indistinguishable, and his heart is upright, which is known to me. As for the deep relationship between each other, it goes without saying. Now that I have met my peers, my strength is weak, so I can let it go; fortunately, with prestige and prestige, it is enough to frighten my courage and capture my soul. Zhigong should promise me. The details are provided by Zhao Zhongjun Face to face Chen. I hereby respectfully wait for Xun'an." The dispute between Fengtian Zhang and Feng was a major event before and after Yuan's death.
