Chapter 18 Chapter Seventeen

The War of Zhiwan Beijing escaped danger and saw Zhang Zuolin's cleverness.If he slowed down for a while, Xu Shuzheng would definitely kill him--dangerous! After news of Zhang Zuolin's visit to Duan reached Xu Shuzheng's ears, the little fan immediately advised Duan to "take advantage of his unpreparedness and kill Zhang Zuolin." Duan Qirui pondered for a while, but said, "Let's take a long-term plan. Although Zhang Zuolin is cunning and changeable, he said Maybe he will turn against me today and help me tomorrow. Even at the moment, he doesn’t dare to disclose how he treats us. It will be beneficial to keep back. Zhang Zuolin has a group of red-bearded brothers in the northeast, all of whom are desperadoes. Zhang Zuolin was killed, and a large group of enemies were formed. Our frontal enemies are Cao and Wu, and we must find a way to deal with them."

Xu Shuzheng felt that the old Duan was indecisive, so he simply cut first and then played, and went to trap and kill Zhang Zuolin himself.Unexpectedly, after all the hard work, it came to nothing. Zhang Zuolin breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the northeast. "Little fan, I can't spare you!" Within a few days, he moved his 27th Division and 28th Division to the Xingcheng and Suizhong Railways in the name of changing defenses, waiting for troops to enter the pass when necessary.At the same time, a telegram was sent to Xu Shichang, saying: "Zuolin was ordered to mediate the differences between Zhihui and Anhui. Although he tried his best, he still had little effect. Both sides are eager to win, and fear that war is inevitable. The situation is critical and it is difficult to sit idly by. Therefore, the resolution is carried out. Mediation by force." At the same time, a special envoy was sent to find Xu Shichang in secret, and said to Xu: "The purpose of the Fengzhi alliance is to eradicate Xu Shuzheng, the chief culprit of the Anfu faction, and to guarantee the wholehearted support of the president. If the president can take care of the overall situation and deal with Xu Shuzheng early, the dispute will be resolved." It will naturally loosen up."

Soon, Wu Peifu led troops from Luoyang to the north, and Beijing, Baoding, and Fengtian newspapers simultaneously published Cao Kun, Zhang Zuolin, Li Chun, Wang Zhanyuan, and Chen Guangyuan, the three governors of the Yangtze River, jointly denounced Xu Shuzheng's appeal, enumerating Xu Shuzheng's six crimes of harming the country and the people, betraying the country and fawning on foreigners, controlling the government, undermining unity, rebelling above and below, and bullying the master by slavery. Xu Shichang walked with his eyes on the direction of the wind. Seeing that the anti-Anhui forces were so strong that he was unable to "block the wind", he took measures against Xu Shuzheng: he was explicitly dismissed from his position as an envoy in the northwest and stayed in Beijing to wait for orders.But he was afraid that Lao Duan would not agree, so at the same time he gave Xu Shuzheng the title of "General Weiyuan".At the same time as these two orders were issued, there was also an order "Abolish the Northwest Frontier Army Command, and the troops under its jurisdiction will be taken over by the Ministry of the Army".Xu Shuzheng suddenly became a polished general.

Duan Qirui received a blow to the head, and shivered coldly: "Fengzhi is united so quickly, and his subordinates are so ruthless!" In the panic, the old Duan was not sure how to deal with this situation. Xu Shuzheng is calm and confident.He smiled lightly and said: "Xu Juren (Xu Shichang's word Juren, also known as Bu Wu), Xiang Zhuang dances swords. It seems that he has a plan. Removing my military post is just an inheritance. I'm afraid the commander-in-chief Even the chair of the border supervisor can't sit still." Duan Qirui was angry, he patted the table and jumped up: "I have been with Xu Ju people for decades, and I treat him well. Give it to him! Now, he has pointed his gun at me! He is not kind, so what kind of righteousness do I have? Let's settle the old and new scores together!"

Duan Qirui led the guards to Beijing without stopping, and went straight to the presidential palace. Xu Shichang was feeling uneasy after the presidential decree was issued, when he saw Duan Qirui rushing in aggressively, knowing that there would be a big disturbance, he wanted to use an excuse to explain first, and then talk slowly, but he didn't know that it was "slow". .Duan Qirui said without touching his chair, "Since the president has already launched a murderous plan, why don't you take it easy. Qirui has no morals and talents, so he should get out, please remove me from my post!"

Xu Shichang panicked, pulled the chair and poured tea, pushed him to sit up, and said: "Brother Zhiquan (Duan Qirui), please don't misunderstand. The order I gave yesterday was really unavoidable, and its intention is also true." I just wanted to deceive others; when things calmed down a bit, it was natural to give Xu Shuzheng a corresponding position.Didn't I give him back the title of General, and ask him to temporarily stay in the General's Mansion..." Before Xu Shichang could finish his sentence, Duan Qirui pressed on and said, "Cao Kun and Wu Peifu joined forces to create chaos, with the intention of usurping the power of the central government. Why don't you let them go?"

Xu Shichang spread his hands and said helplessly: "How can I get rid of it like this! Besides, Cao and Wu's southern expedition took Yuezhou and Changsha, and the whole country applauded. If I dismiss them without reason, how can I convince people? Let's make a fuss , I'm afraid it's not good for everyone." Duan Qirui stood up suddenly, and said, "The President indulged Cao Wu like this, don't say I started a riot." After finishing speaking, he turned and went out. Duan Qirui and Xu Shichang fell out, and Xu Shuzheng had something to do, so he immediately led by Duan Qirui to draft a petition, asking the president to immediately remove Cao Kun and Wu Pei from both positions.He first brought the petition to the General's Mansion, and asked some generals who lived at home to sign their names -- most of those generals were Duan Qirui's old subordinates, and they were frustrated and relaxed, so how dare they not sign.As a result, a large list of general names appeared on the report.Xu Shuzheng broke into the presidential palace with the petition, and immediately forced Xu Shichang to say: "President please approve it!"

Xu Shichang became dizzy when he saw the report.It took a long time to say: "This... this... how can I be the president!?" Xu Shuzheng pointed to the document and said: "Whether to approve or not is a matter for the President. Tens of thousands of border guards have gathered in Gyeonggi. The President should not make the situation tense." "It's time to discuss it with all parties." Xu Shichang was pleading. "Okay, you can post it tomorrow morning!" Xu Shuzheng withdrew.The next morning, the President did not issue an order to remove Cao and Wu, so Xu Shuzheng decided to force

Palace, he led the guards to immediately surround the presidential palace and went to see Xu Shichang alone.He asked face to face, "Will the order to dismiss Cao and Wu be issued?" Xu Shichang saw Xu Shuzheng's murderous face and livid face, knowing that the situation was urgent and there was no way out, so he ordered the copywriter to draft an order to remove Cao and Wu.As soon as the decree was drafted, Xu Shuzheng snatched it and said, "Since the President has already issued an order, Shuzheng will take it to the newspaper and publish it first. The President can order the Ministry of War to issue another order."

Avoid Anhui and Xu first, and then avoid directing Cao and Wu. With two orders, a war quickly ignited. When President Xu's second removal order was issued, Wu Peifu had led his troops to the suburbs of Beijing. Cao Kun set up a headquarters in Tianjin, held an oath meeting, announced that the direct army was the "rebel army", appointed Wu Peifu as the commander-in-chief, and commanded the troops to launch an attack Duan Qirui sits in Tuanhe, changes the frontier defense army to "Dingguo Army" and makes himself the commander; Xu Shuzheng is the chief of the general staff, who still holds military power; and divides the team into two groups, appointing Duan Zhigui as the commander-in-chief of the First Route Army On that day, Qu Tongfeng, as the commander-in-chief of the Second Route Army, mobilized the first, third, and ninth divisions to go straight to the Zhijun.

The battle between Zhi and Anhui started in an all-round way. Zhang Zuolin was sure that it would be profitable in this direct Anhui war, and he had already made preparations for the battle.The spies he sent reported the situation of the war in Zhiwan, and immediately ordered the 27th Division and the 28th Division, a total of 70,000 people, to leave the customs quickly, and occupied the Machang and Junliangcheng areas, forming the flanks of the Zhijun Army, and set out to attack Anhui. The formation of the army. After all, Zhang Zuolin is no longer the reckless man who pulled Liuzi back then. He has a group of high-ranking officers under him who advise and gain fame for the emerging dictator.At the same time that Zhang Zuolin was leaving the teacher, these people racked their brains and concocted a decent telegram and sent it out to the world.power up says: ... Zuolin was ordered to enter the capital, wishing to be a member of Zhizhi and Anhui Diao. Although he repeatedly shed tears, people turned a deaf ear to him.It is now heard that Beijing's papers are heavily on the battlefield, and the foundation is shaken. How can the country be established? Moreover, if there is a treaty between the Beijing-Feng Railway and its neighbors, if there is any danger, it will be a branch.Pretending to be Lin had no choice but to send troops into the customs to help the crisis and calm the chaos.If anyone agrees with me, I wish to be cited as a compatriot; otherwise, I will be regarded as a public enemy. Zhang Zuolin's telegram neither said to help the straight, nor said to oppose Anhui, but only indicated "military mediation", flaunting that he was famous as a teacher. The soldiers moved, and the flames of war were about to ignite. The people in the war zone fled one after another, bringing men and women with them, abandoning their families; inside and outside the capital, rumors spread everywhere, and people were panicked.In northern China, the sky was dark and the earth was dark immediately, with dense clouds. President Xu Shichang panicked and worried.He is the king of a country, and there is going to be a catastrophe in the country, and he has to explain to the world.However, what method did he use to explain it? No one listened to the decree; the teacher was calmed down, but where is his "king teacher"? Xu Shichang shrank his head and made trouble in the presidential palace.In the end, I had no choice but to issue a so-called order, saying: The great president of this country, who has little moral integrity and can do little, is the most important thing entrusted by the people. He only knows how to love the country and protect the people; he regards all the commanders in the army as his sons, as if he is his heart and shoulders. All armies from all walks of life should strictly obey the order, retreat to the original defense, work together to maintain the overall situation, and assist the president of this university to protect Li Yuan's sincerity. Xu Shichang wrote his empty promise, and the two families of Zhi and Anhui continued their war.It was Duan Zhigui of the Anhui Army who started the war. Duan Zhigui commanded the cavalry of the Third Division of the East Route Army to rush towards Gaobeidian, the headquarters of Wu Peifu's direct line.There was a sound of killing everywhere, horses galloped and danced with swords, and the direct army that was on the attack was defeated and retreated as soon as it went out. Duan Zhigui wanted to take the lead, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued.But seeing tens of thousands of horses galloping and dust flying.Unexpectedly, Wu Peifu set up a trap to lure the enemy to go deep and surround them. As soon as Duan Zhigui's troops entered the Qiuling area, they were surrounded by straight troops who jumped out of the trenches one after another, followed by bursts of heavy artillery fire.Duan Zhigui's enemy was invincible and his army was defeated; the straight army charged up, and the sound of killing shook the sky.Duan Zhigui saw that his situation was in chaos, so he ordered his troops to withdraw.The army had been disintegrated, and it was too late to withdraw. The soldiers and horses fell to the ground one after another. He had to lead a small number of guards to kill the bloody road and escape every day.At the same time, the Second Mixed Brigade and the Three Regiments of the Frontier Defense Army were also suddenly attacked by Cao Jun in the areas of Caicun and Zhangzhuang and retreated. Xu Shuzheng is confident that the border guards are strong, and he will make an all-out attack.Although there was a small victory, it eventually fell into the encirclement of the Zhijun Army; although Qu Tongfeng, the Second Route Army of the West Route, occupied Zhuozhou first, it fought against the Zhijun Army before it could gain a firm foothold.Due to the successive defeats on the East Road, Qu's army was moved, and their combat power was exhausted, so they began to retreat; the straight army attacked fiercely, and Qu Tongfeng had to retreat to Zhuozhou and stick to it. Fengzhang, who entered the customs, saw that the Zhijun had the upper hand, and then launched a full-scale attack: first, Zhang Jinghui's brigade was ordered to attack Zhuozhou from the side; to the city.The two armies fought each other, and Zhuozhou was turned into a sea of ​​flames, corpses were everywhere, and blood became streams. Qu Tongfeng, who had retreated into the Guandi Temple, had no choice but to raise a white flag. Xu Shuzheng was shocked when he got the news of the successive defeats, knowing that the Zhijun was powerful.He has not yet decided on a countermeasure in Yangcun, the base camp, and Cao Kun has led an army to surround it on three sides. Although he gave the death order to "resolutely resist", the frontier guards have lost their spirit, and their defeat is like an ebb tide, and the entire army has collapsed.Xu Shuzheng had no choice but to break through with a few entourages and escape, but his leg was still seriously injured. A long-awaited battle between Anhui and Anhui ended in the victory of Anhui and the defeat of Anhui in five days.Xu Shuzheng and Duan Zhigui fled to Dongjiaomin Lane and stayed at the Liuguo Hotel for foreigners; Duan Qirui sneaked back to the mansion in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin, and as a last resort, he called Zhi, Feng, Jiangsu, Jiangxi, Hubei, Henan and other provinces to "blame himself and impeach him", saying that " Appeal to the Presidential Office for the dismissal of the brigadier general, border defense supervisor, etc., and revoke the rank of general in the army and the medals and honors awarded. The Dingguo army will be disbanded immediately to thank the people of the country. The general situation of the war was clear, so he immediately went to Zhang Jinghui and said happily, "My good brother, the opportunity has come. This time, there is a lot of trouble! We have to start first. You immediately take the 27th Division into Beijing. As soon as you arrive In Beijing, you should divide your troops into two groups, all the way to Nanyuan, occupying the base camp of the old section; all the way to Dongzhimen, blocking the military medicine depot, and taking it quickly. Most of the regiment and battalion commanders under our command are old buddies from back then , Whether it is grabbing or taking, they are all old experts. Let go of their hands and feet, pick up vegetables in the basket, and don't care about other people's gossip. Do you understand?" Zhang Jinghui was also a master of the green forest back then, and he is very familiar with this skill.Busy nodded and said: "General, big brother, don't worry, big fish and small fish, ants and shrimps, all are netted, and there will be no leaks." The gunpowder depots of the suburban army were all "received" by them.Then, heavy troops were sent to guard it. Both Cao Kun and Wu Peifu were dazzled by the victory. They only cared about confiscating weapons on the battlefield and recruiting captured teams.After Wu Peifu calmed down, he sent troops to Beijing.Si Xi came a step late and was so angry that he scolded "Zhang Zuolin, a living bandit!" In the end, they learned from the captives.The Beiyuan barracks also had a batch of new weapons and ammunition brought in from Japan by the frontier guards, from which Wu Peifu got a little satisfaction. Zhang Zuolin was stationed in Beijing, immediately invited Tang Yulin and Zhang Jinghui to the secret room, greatly praised their "acceptance", and then said: "Don't move your weapons, and the money that should be used will be divided immediately, let the brothers You are also generous, brothers who have meritorious service, you can give more!" Zhang Jinghui said: "There are still a large number of foreigners, look..." Divide! Zhang Zuolin waved his hands and said, "We don't want to leave property to our descendants. What does money count? Brothers are old and young, so be more spacious and feel at ease. What do you think?" Zhang Jinghui nodded.Zhang Zuolin said again: "Is the train ready?" Tang Yulin said: "It's all ready." "Immediately load the car and ship all the victories to Fengtian within two days!" Tang Yulin led a group of travelers to block Dongzhimen, and Zhang Jinghui led a group of travelers to block Nanyuan. All the military vehicles were mobilized, and all the guns, ammunition, supplies, and twelve planes were transported to the railway station. Hundreds of wagons were loaded. Machine guns were set up on the wagons, and heavy soldiers were sent to escort them to Fengtian. Wu Peifu had long been outraged by Zhang Zuolin's seizure of the arsenal, and now he was transporting all the ordnance to Fengtian, how could he tolerate it.Hurry to see Cao Kun.He didn't need to report, and he didn't turn around. He shouted loudly when he met him: "Zhang Zuolin is too shameful! This battle is called United, but in fact he sent two divisions to watch the formation, and he just bluffed from the sidelines. Now it's good, They went to Beijing to receive him but ran ahead. All the weapons were transported to Fengtian. How can we cooperate with such bandits in the future?!" Cao Kun was happy to win, and didn't want to worry too much about snatching weapons.Now Wu Peifu was furious, and he had no choice but to say: "Yes, yes. This time, Zhang Yuting was on the sidelines. He won, and he took advantage of everything. It's not enough... It's too inappropriate. Cough! What should we do? We have to rectify the government immediately, so we can’t let go of the government’s disorganization and make trouble with him.” After a pause, he continued: "I was born in the green forest, and my temperament is hard to change. The things have been robbed by him, what should I do? I think, forget it." Wu Peifu angrily sat aside silently. The Zhi and Feng families defeated the Anhui faction and took control of the power in Beijing.However, the real power is still in a state of inseparability. In the end, Xu Shichang had to be temporarily protected as the president, and Jin Yunpeng came out to form a cabinet again.In order to balance the power of Zhifeng, Xu Shichang determined that Zhang Zuolin would still be the tour envoy of the three eastern provinces, Cao Kun was appointed as the tour envoy of Zhilu and Henan, and Wu Peifu was appointed as Cao's deputy envoy.In doing so, the situation was finally stabilized for the time being. However, Zhang Zuolin knew in his heart that Cao Zhi would definitely not be angry about the distribution of spoils this time, and he might make trouble.Therefore, all his teams entering the pass stayed in the pass, and were stationed on both sides of the Jinpu and Beijing-Tianjin railways to prevent accidents. After the Zhiwan War, Zhang Zuolin breathed a sigh of relief. He wanted to calm down for a while, reorganize and train the army, and then move on to the next move. In July 1920, the city of Beijing, which was affected by the war, showed its usual calm again, and the heat was not too hot. After a heavy rain, the city was washed clean and fresh, and courtyards came in and out with smiling faces; Lively, the number of cars and horses is increasing, and along the riverside on both sides of the Forbidden City, you can see bird lovers gathering in twos and threes. Zhang Zuolin had lived in secret for seven or eight days in the Fengtian guild hall where he was staying, and the guild hall was closed by the army under the name of "internal renovation".Zhang Zuolin didn't want to have contact with anyone outside, and he didn't show up or speak.His purpose of entering the customs has been achieved several times, and he does not need to speak; if he was not afraid that Cao and Wu would attack him suddenly, he would have returned to Fengtian long ago.In the past few days, even in the guild hall, he seldom had long talks with anyone. Although there were three or five senior assistants around him, they didn't get together to talk about anything. One evening, a person who claimed to be a "close relative" broke in and said that he had "very important family matters" to interview with Zhang Zuolin.The strict guard saw that he was a thin old man with bare hands and casual clothes. He guessed that he could not be an assassin, so he sent a report.Zhang Zuolin thought about it, and felt that there was no such "close relative", so he wanted to refuse to receive him.However, these years of fighting have given him a little more "heart"; the victory this time has also made him more interested, so he decided to "go out!" When the old man saw Zhang Zuolin, he arched his hands and bowed deeply.Said: "Dashuai Zhang is alright?" Zhang Zuolin was confused: "What's the tone?" But he still smiled and said: "What can I teach you, sir? But please tell me directly." He has decided that this is not his "close relative". The old man sat down and someone offered tea. "Marshal Zhang, you have won a big victory in this expedition. I was specially sent to congratulate you." "Who is it?" Zhang Zuolin asked directly. "Duan Hefei who was defeated by you!" "Duan Qirui?!" Zhang Zuolin was a little surprised. "What did he congratulate me for?" "Congratulations to you for receiving all the weapons and equipment from Nanyuan and Dongzhimen!" Zhang Zuolin smiled. "I know, this is the old Duan's savings for many years. Once it is lost, it will hurt and panic. War, that's it, there is no way." The old man also laughed. "Marshal, you are wrong." "What's wrong? I'm telling the truth." "If it's the truth, you're too narrow-minded." "Please enlighten me." "Hefei thinks far ahead. Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If you lose this time, you can win again next time. If these weapons fall into the hands of you, Zhang Shuai, Hefei will have no worries. What he is most worried about is... ,, " "What's up?" Afraid of falling into Wu Peifu's hands. ""Then why?" "Does this need to be explained in detail?" The old man shook his head, but still said: "Hefei believes that his opponents are Cao and Wu, and his friend is you Feng Zhang. Since he failed, the batch of things fell into the hands of his friends." It's better than falling into the hands of the opponent. ""so......" "I'll see you in the future." The old man pushed his teacup, stood up, and said, "The mission has been completed, I'm leaving." Zhang Zuolin hurriedly stopped the old man and said, "Dare to ask Mr...." "It's good that you understand Hefei's intentions. I, a man of grass and trees, may not see each other again in the future." "Thanks for your advice, sir," he said, taking out a bag of silver dollars from the cupboard: "Please talk about tea supplies, sir." "I have no intention of making a fuss, I appreciate it, thank you!" After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.Zhang Zuolin's calm mood rippled again... After the Zhiwan War, Zhang Zuolin achieved great development, and his military development reached a peak. Politically, Liang Shiyi, who was pro-blessed, will come out to form a cabinet.During this period, Baoding Military Academy, the most influential military academy in China, suffered an internal split.A group of instructors who were originally from the Japanese Non-commissioned Officer School were excluded. Except for a few people who defected to Guangzhou, more than 20 defected to Fengzhang.Zhang Zuolin opens the door to invite talents, and all those who wish to come are welcome.For a time, military and political celebrities gathered in Fengtian City, and merchants were extremely prosperous. , Zhang Zuolin was not numb. He and his senior officers made a calm analysis: Now, Fengjun is no longer the era of the old 27th Division, and it is not just the kowtowing brothers of Liuzi who are in charge of military and political power. , How can we avoid the confusion of fish and dragons? With such great power today, even the kowtow brothers are not single-minded.Feng Delin has gone, are there Zhang Delin and Li Delin? To tell the truth, by the time of the victory of the Zhiwan War, the old and new factions had clearly formed within the leaders of Fengjun, and both were expanding and expanding their power; the old factions were of course Zhang Jinghui, Tang Yulin, Wu Junsheng, Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuo Equal people, they are all the heroes who followed Zhang Zuolin to fight the world; the new faction, represented by Yang Yuting, the generals include Han Linchun, Jiang Dengxuan, Guo Songling, Ji Yiqiao, Zang Shiyi, Yu Guohan, Xiqia, Wang Shuchang, Yu Zhen, Xing Shilian Wait, there is also the later young marshal Zhang Xueliang.The faction has been formed, the new faction is on the rise, and the old faction is feeling "sleepy" day by day. Zhang Zuolin and his old gang brothers are a little worried.Zhang Zuolin decided to launch his own army campaign. Yang Yuting, also known as Linge and Linge, was born in Deku, Liaoning. He studied in Fengtian Provincial Middle School in his early years, and later entered Japan into the Artillery Division of the Eighth Period of the Army Non-commissioned Officer Academy. After graduating in 1910 and returning to China, he served as an officer of the third township of the army. In 1912, he was changed to be an instructor of the Jiangwu Hall in the three eastern provinces, and the deputy director and director of Fengtian Ordnance Factory. In 1915, he served as chief of staff of General Fengtian Shengwu.After Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the governor, he served as the chief of staff of the governor's office.After earnest drilling, he won Zhang Zuolin's favor and trust, and he was regarded as his right and left hand, and even gave him his personal seal.During the Zhiwan War, he had close contacts with Xu Shuzheng, a key figure in the Anhui Clique.Later, after the Second Zhifeng War, he served as the supervisor of Jiangsu and was driven by Sun Chuanfang.Zhang Zongchang, another inconspicuous figure, achieved unexpected development after being stationed in Jilin. Not long after Zhang Zongchang was stationed in Kyrgyzstan, the political situation in Russia changed drastically, and the White Guards fled to China one after another. Most of them took refuge in Zhang Zongchang.At this time, Zhang Zuolin attached great importance to him, but was also afraid: on the one hand, he intimately recognized him as his family, and on the other hand, he was afraid that if he could not be controlled, he would rebel against him.In Zhang Zongchang himself, the team developed, but the economy had no back-up. Zhang Zuolin allocated him funds from Fengtian, and the Fengtian money depreciated greatly in Jilin.Zhang Zongchang had no choice, so he mobilized soldiers to plant opium in the area under his jurisdiction.Zhang Zuolin was trying to find a gap to reorganize the army with great fanfare, to eliminate the contradictions between the new and the old that had formed, and to control Zhang Zongchang's re-expansion.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin decided to take advantage of the army exercise to "take action" against Zhang Zongchang-- In the mid-autumn festival, just as the sorghum in the fields wiped off their heads, Jilin fell into an overwhelming storm. heavy snow.In a blink of an eye, it became a white world. , Army exercises proceeded as scheduled.Zhang Zuolin called Guo Songling into the inner room and said to him: "This time I have decided to ask you to go to Jilin to be a member of the review committee for the military exercise. You should make some preparations and go. " "Guo Songling nodded, and said: "Follow the order of the commander-in-chief." "Zhang Zongchang is rude and savage, and he behaves badly. You need to find an excuse to control him. The team should be reorganized, and those who can be dismissed." "I see." Guo Songling, one of the leaders of the new faction, surrounded Zhang Zuolin with the title of brigade commander.For Zhang Zongchang's growing power, he has long been jealous, and has the idea of ​​suppressing or swallowing him.This order was in line with his wishes.Therefore, as soon as he arrived in Zhangbu, he treated everything here with a cold face. Zhang Zongchang was wandering by nature, the army lacked formal drills, how could it withstand the tossing and falling on the icy and snowy ground, it has long been crooked and crumbled.Zhang Zongchang was wearing riding boots and an armed belt, practicing and crawling on the snow, his skin was already bleeding, and he was full of complaints standing in the snow. "Mom, the sky is bullying me!" He stood there for a long time, and suddenly found a lonely small house not far away, and led the chief of staff, Wang Hanming, into it. "Come, take shelter from the wind and take a rest." Zhang Zongchang walked into the room, sat down on a rotten stone, took out a bottle of wine that he carried with him, opened the bottle, took a drink, and handed it to the chief of staff.Say, "Drink. Drink as drunk as you can." Wang Hanming took a sip and gave it to Zhang Zongchang, who took another sip.Said: "This is not a drill, this is suicide." Wang Hanming sneered and nodded. At this time, the wind tightened.The wind whizzed towards the hut, and the snowflakes kept slipping into the hut through the gaps in the windows. The hut shook a little, and the wind pierced the eyes and ears like a knife; into the hut.Zhang Zongchang is holding a wine bottle, his face is like the changeable sky in June, it is cloudy and sunny-- Zhang Zongchang is not at peace! Although Zhang Zongchang was born as a bandit, he knew how to run an army. After defecting to Hu Ying, the governor of the Shandong People's Army at the age of 30, he began to lead troops.It was the period of the Revolution of 1911. The hearts of the people and the army were boiling, and the relationship between officers and soldiers was also showing a new harmony.Later, he went to Shanghai and joined Chen Qimei as the head of the recovery regiment, and later became the commander of the Third Division of the Jiangsu Army. He understood the meaning of loving soldiers even more.Soldiers can't be harmed by military training! It's like "not moving troops in the twelfth lunar month" when raising troops to fight wars! Now, ice A lot of drills in the snow and snow, isn't it harmful to soldiers! After a few sips of wine, the anger in my heart rose, and I couldn't help cursing: "I x his mother, what kind of grandson's plan is this to make us suffer so much?" ?" It just so happened that inspector Guo Songling didn't see Zhang Zongchang on the snow, and when he saw a hut from a distance, he knew he was hiding in.hurried away.With one foot in the door and one foot out of the door, Zhang Zongchang was swearing in the street.He asked loudly: "Zhang Zongchang, who are you scolding here?" Zhang Zongchang looked up and saw that it was a review committee member, and he was taken aback-this guy came by such a coincidence.He intends to shirk it. " "This is my colloquial language, and no one scolds me." Guo Songling was not willing to give in, he was furious, pointed at Zhang Zongchang's nose and cursed: "I am your mother! This is also my spoken language." Zhang Zongchang's complexion changed, from red to purple, from purple to green, he stood up with his chest out, and quickly inserted his right hand into his waist--the chief of staff panicked, he thought Zhang Zongchang was going to fight Guo Songling with a gun .However, after Zhang Zongchang jumped up, he immediately changed into a smiling face, and said in a soft tone: "Second Master Guo, you × my mother, you are my real father. The injury is my real father, so what else is there to say!" "This this......" A fierce bloody battle calmed down in an instant——Guo Songling twisted his neck a few times, and finally walked out in anger. Wang Hanming was afraid of causing trouble, so he wanted to hold Guo Songling back and try to persuade him.Zhang Zongchang pulled his clothes and shook his head at him. After Guo Songling left, Zhang Zongchang grinned and said, "Guo Songling is a dog. If a dog bites a person, how can a person bite a dog again? Is biting a dog still a human being? Besides, I call him my father." , anyway, he is not my real father." Guo Songling left the hut, frowning for a long time.
