Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

The Battle of Zhifeng, the "Independence" of the Three Eastern Provinces Fengtian ushered in another new year. The Fengtian spring is still harsh, the ground is frozen, the snow weighs on everything, the dead branches are still sleeping, and the red flowers are still missing.Zhang Zuolin's tour inside and outside the government office is still shrouded in a deep winter atmosphere. After breakfast, Zhang Zuolin put on a fox fur cloak and walked into the small living room. He wanted to talk to some cronies about something he had been thinking about for a few days.Who to turn to? He was unsure: "God, he would go to Yuan Jinkai when he needed something. He thought his resourcefulness was superb and desirable. Ever since Yang Yuting appeared in front of him, he gradually felt that Yuan Jinkai was "clumsy". This idea is not so "novel". Are you looking for Yang Yuting? This person is very clever, but he is a little emotional. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't make up his mind. He walked around for a while, and then sat on the chair. After Zhang Zuolin sat down , glanced at the attendant. The attendant turned around wittily, and called a maid to beat his back for him.

Recently, I often sit down at leisure.Zhang Zuolin felt his back was sore and he needed someone to beat him.The forty-seven-year-old man has fought for most of his life, rain, dew, and wind and frost, and his body has not yet broken down, so he is lucky.However, the pain in his back often made him feel a little powerless.When the maid beat his back, he wanted to close his eyes and take a nap.Just at this time, there was a "咴咴咴" war horse neighing outside the courtyard, he suddenly cheered up, and immediately thought: "It's too early to take a nap now!" Zhang Zuolin rubbed his eyes, waved away the maid, and then said to the attendants: "Go, quickly find the General Councilor, Chief of Staff, Secretary-General, and the brigade commander in Fengtian. I have something urgent." What's urgent? It turns out He brought these people here to carry out a big event that he had been thinking about for several days...

"I originally wanted everyone to rest for a few days to increase their energy, but now it seems that it is impossible. We have to continue working." Zhang Zuolin talked sonorously, without hesitation.However, he was getting cold in the midst of his enthusiasm, paused, and asked back: "Guess, what's the next step?" Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and after a while, some talked about expanding the army, some said that they would enter Beijing, and some said that they would spend money to repair the Huludao seaport.Zhang Zuolin smiled.He shook his head and said, "Everything should be done, but there is no rush." ​​Then, he turned to look at Yang Yuting.

Yang Yuting is the person who is best at understanding Zhang Zuolin's psychology.Over the past few years, he has basically got a grasp of Zhang Zuolin's pulse through observing his face and demeanor, speculating on his behavior and verifying afterwards, but he is not very sure.Therefore, he did not express his attitude easily, for fear of "too many words will make mistakes"; only when Zhang Zuolin mentioned him did he reveal himself in a tactful and implicit way.What the commander meant, he looked at Zhang Zuolin again, and said, "Taking advantage of the defeat of Xu Shuzheng's frontier guards and the emptiness of the northwest frontier, we must immediately send troops to occupy it..."

"Yes! We have to do this." Before Yang Yuting finished speaking, Zhang Zuolin couldn't wait to announce his decision: "I have already thought of a plan, and now I ask you to discuss it: our army will divide into three groups and immediately march into Chahar and Rehe. , Suiyuan. I appointed Zhang Jinghui as the governor of Chahar, governing Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia; I appointed Ji Jinchun as the governor of Rehe, stationed in Chengde; The inner code, he wants to return to us, and Suiyuan is in charge. I want to ask him to stand in front of us. We have soldiers pressing down on the border. I don't think he will turn back. What do you think?"

Everyone understands that there is no need to discuss this, it has already become an order, not to mention that this order is what most people think of, so they all said, "Okay! Carry out the commander's order!" Some people even uttered a few flattering Zhang Zuolin "Look high, have the mind of a king".Zhang Zuolin smiled again and said, "Okay, okay! Everyone is ready now, and I will issue an official order immediately!" Zhang Zuolin is powerful and a victorious teacher. No one in the country knows how powerful he is! When President Xu Shichang saw that Zhang Zuolin had appointed all the provincial and regional leaders on the border, and had dispatched his own army, although he was very angry, he was also very angry. Not daring to criticize, he had to make up an order in the name of the president, turning the matter decided by Zhang Zuolin alone into an official official matter recognized and appointed by the government, and private salt became official salt.At the same time, Zhang Zuolin was given the official title of "Mengjiang Economic and Strategic Envoy".Zhang Zuolin, the king of the Northeast, suddenly even ruled the Northwest.

Wu Peifu was already furious at Zhang Zuolin's seizure of arms in Beijing, and now that he quietly took away the three regions of Cha, Re, and Sui, and even snatched Mengjiang into his pocket, he was jealous and envious. The little fan Xu Shuzheng's territory has all fallen into the hands of Zhang Zuolin, how can he not pour another barrel of oil on his anger. "Well you bandit Zhang Zuolin, you captured Qian Quan's territory together! Well, you capture your north, I capture my south, let's compete." So Wu Peifu started from his base in Henan, Hubei, He got involved in Hunan, Guangxi, Sichuan and even Yunnan and Guizhou.

Just when Wu Peifu was enthusiastically grasping the power in the south, Qi Xieyuan, deputy military affairs officer in Jiangsu and now acting as the governor of Jiangsu, came to Wu Peifu's mansion in Beijing and said, "If you have any important events, you must see the deputy envoy Wu Xunxu".Wu Peifu's heart skipped a beat: "He, Qi Xieyuan, Qi Fuwan? Why did he come to see me at this time?" Since people have come, they must be received.Wu Peifu said "Please!" while waiting in the small living room. Qi Xieyuan was brought in by Wu's adjutant, and when he saw Wu Peifu, he gave a respectful military salute, and then said: "Qi Xieyuan, Deputy Military Affairs Officer of Jiangsu Province, greets General Ziyu."

Wu Peifu greeted him "enthusiastically", let him into the guest seat, and said, "I heard that General Fuwan has been appointed as the governor of Jiangsu. Ziyu is very happy for it!" "Fu Wan is here to pay homage to the general for this matter." Qi Xieyuan raised his ass that had just touched the chair, and said, "To be honest, in today's China, the person Fu Wan admires the most is General Ziyu! Fu Wan thinks all day long, General Ziyu is very important to the safety of China. Therefore, Fu Wanjiu has a wish, if he can obey the command of the general, his wish will be fulfilled for the rest of his life..."

Hearing this nasty flattery, Wu Peifu became vigilant instead. "This Qi Xieyuan originally leaned towards Zhang Zuolin. Although he had a good impression of Zhi, he did not take any real action. What kind of face does he have? I have to find out about him. Don't be Zhang Zuolin's spy who broke into my courtyard?" Thinking so Then, he smiled faintly and said: "General Qi, Yu Shuai treats you very kindly! Now is the time when he is thriving. The military power is greatly shaken, and there is Mengjiang again. Even we are all eager to cling to him. Thoughts. Although I still have an airs here, I am actually doing a good job. One day, I am afraid that I will ask the general to speak well in front of Yushuai!"

Qi Xieyuan saw that Wu Peifu was suspicious of him, so he sighed first, and said: "General Ziyu misunderstood. Even if Fuwan is stupid, he will never abandon the principles of poetry and books and become a green forest. Zhang Yuting can be regarded as a general, but in terms of handsome , he is exhausted; he wants to become a king and landlord in the future, and he doesn't know what to do if he is afraid of such a dream. Chicks sometimes fly very fast and very high, but they will never have great ambitions! Wan Jiumu is a talented general, but he sees that the general is no more than a swallow. Farewell!" After saying that, he got up and wanted to leave. Wu Peifu was surprised: "It turned out that Qi Xieyuan's surrender was a piece of truth, and he walked over hurriedly, holding his fists with both hands to stop him." General Fuwan, don't misunderstand, Ziyu also has Ziyu's difficulties..." Wu Peifu mentioned this directly. Lianhe and the post-war state sighed and shook his head again and again. Qi Xieyuan sat down again, and Fang turned to the previous topic again. Qi Xieyuan, courtesy name Fuwan, was born in Ninghe (today's Tianjin), Hebei, and was born in Beiyang Military Equipment Academy.After the Revolution of 1911, he served as the supervisor of Jiangsu military affairs as a division commander.At this time, the governor of Jiangsu was Li Chun, Feng Guozhang's old subordinate, one of the veteran warlords in Beiyang, who had supervised the Soviet Union for many years and also served as the patrol envoy of the Yangtze River.In the just-concluded Zhiwan War, Li Chun was supposed to be a great help to Cao Wu.However, in order to protect himself, he only bluffed and was powerless.However, not only did he not receive the stolen goods, but Wu Peifu became suspicious of him.He was looking for an opportunity to drive him away and change to a confidant, but before he could do anything, Li Chun died suddenly, and Qi Xieyuan was acting as the representative of Jiangsu Governor. Qi Xieyuan was originally Li Chun's confidant, lieutenant general and division commander, young and powerful, and better at maneuvering, so he was highly valued by Li Chun.In fact, he has already held the military power in Jiangsu.This Deputy Qi is also a person with a heavy heart.He showed respect to his Marshal Li, and the idea of ​​replacing him had already sprouted in his heart.It should have been a good opportunity for Assistant Qi, when the situation was calm, Li Chun died suddenly - at that time, Li Chun's death caused a great disturbance, public opinion was in an uproar, and various causes of death were reported.But in the final analysis, the relatively uniform rumors were caused by the Hualiu case of Su Qiuyue, the third concubine he had just brought out from a brothel in Suzhou.Li Chun had one wife and three concubines, and the third concubine Su was young and beautiful. Soon after entering the house, she had a warm relationship with one of Li's adjutants surnamed Han.Accidentally, he was bumped into by Governor Li.The general immediately drew his pistol and wanted to kill the adjutant.Su Qiuyue rushed to stop her, and when the gun rang, the muzzle turned sharply, killing herself.At this time, Deputy Qi was playing cards at the Shuai Mansion, and when he heard the news, he came out to investigate the matter. He suddenly had an idea and forced the lover and mistress to jointly fabricate a "suicide will" of Dujun Li.Naturally, there were a lot of "reasons" in the will, but one of the affiliations was clear, that is, "after my death, Qi Xieyuan, deputy military affairs officer, will act as the military governor, and the military governor's office will immediately recommend it to the central government, and ask the State Council to order Qi Xieyuan to succeed him" and other words.Now that the person is dead, who will pursue the Hualiu case again? But whether there is such a "will"? There are different opinions.Afraid of accidents, Qi Xieyuan hurriedly ordered his cousin and brigade commander Qi Xiehong to lead a regiment of elite soldiers to blockade and surround the Governor's Office. Qi Xieyuan was originally inclined to serve Zhang, and he thought that Zhang Zuolin would give him a hand in the matter of occupying the Jiangsu Governor's seat.However, Zhang Zuolin recommended to the State Council his father-in-law, the veteran Yangtze River patrol envoy who had just received an "amnesty", and the restoration mad Zhang Xun as the governor of Jiangsu.This matter was not only opposed by Wu Peifu first, but also chilled Qi Xieyuan's heart.The tactful Prime Minister Jin Yunpeng had a relationship with Zhang Zuolin and Cao Kun by marriage, and both parties showed affection, so he had to put the matter on hold for the time being.Qi Xieyuan couldn't wait, and felt that there was no hope of serving Zhang, so he threw himself into Wu Peifu's arms.It happened that Wu Peifu was paying attention to Jiangsu, so they hit it off. "Let's do this." Wu Peifu said, "I'm going to see the Prime Minister tomorrow. You can wait for the good news." Sure enough, on the next day, the State Council decided to appoint Qi Xieyuan as the governor of Jiangsu-inadvertently and effortlessly, the territory of Jiangsu was merged into the "territory" of the direct line. Immediately afterwards, Wu Peifu used both soft and hard tactics, and regained Hubei, Hunan, and Sichuan.So far, Wu Peifu has dominated Luoyang, and his reputation has been greatly shaken. It has become his heyday when "Muye Ying raised his fame at a hundred years old and only half a lifetime, and Luoyang tiger occupies all directions and winds and rains in Zhongzhou (the birthday couplet sent by Kang Youwei for Wu Peifu's 50th birthday)"! When Zhang Zuolin saw that Wu Peifu had won Jiangsu, he was very upset and complained loudly, saying: "Wu Peifu, a bastard, swallowed all the fat, and I only created a Mengjiang area without oil and water." Luoyang couldn't bear it even more, and couldn't wait to make preparations for the expedition.He immediately recruited troops in his jurisdiction to expand his team.Feng's team quickly expanded from 200,000 to 300,000. He stayed behind with 100,000 people, and competed with Wu Peifu with 200,000 people... The Fengzhi family is on the verge of breaking out, and they are both looking for opportunities to dispatch.At this time, the President Xu Shichang was restless and worried day by day.The personally appointed Liang Shiyi replaced Jin Yunpeng's prime minister, and Wu Peifu was greatly angered; this Liang cabinet pardoned Xu Shuzheng and a group of defeated Anhui backbones as soon as he took office. Wu Peifu couldn't bear it anymore, and first attacked the president , Said that he "inherited the mantle of the Anfu Congress", called him a "veteran of the Five Dynasties", and called him "Mr. Donghai".This is undoubtedly tantamount to denying Xu Shichang's great president first.Secondly, Wu Peifu held another congress and re-elected the president. At the same time, he publicized "all kinds of betrayal of the Liang cabinet".He sat in Luoyang, mobilized the soldiers from the south, and secretly went north.Xu Shichang was anxious. After nightfall, Xu Shichang put on a fox fur coat and paced indoors. The dinner sent by the "Imperial Dining Room", together with the nourishing soup made by his concubine Shen Rong, was withdrawn without even touching his lips.What's more unusual is that he didn't even touch the golden and shiny hookah.After lighting the lamp for a long time, he suddenly ordered someone to find his cousin Xu Shizhang. Xu Shizhang was then the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications and the director of the Jinpu Railway Bureau. He was an eloquent figure. He often advised the president and solved many emergencies for the president. Xu Shizhang came to Xu Shichang, called "Fifth Brother" softly, and stood aside.Xu Shichang pointed to a chair for him to sit down, and said, "Shizhang, I want you to go to Fengtian." Xu Shizhang blinked at him, but didn't speak. "That's it," Xu Shichang said plainly, "Wu Ziyu is getting more and more deviant, deceiving people too much. You know the outside things, if you think about it. Now there is only one way." "Please enter the customs with the army?!" Xu Shizhang was surprised.He knew that the two families of Zhi and Feng were already on the bow, and the flames of war were imminent.Letting him enter the customs now would mean starting a war! So, after being surprised, he didn't say a word. Xu Shichang sighed deeply, pondered for a long time, and then said: "Yes, it is not the best policy to transfer Fengjun into the customs. However, this is the only way to do it. This breath is difficult to tolerate and swallow! I have to take one step at a time. ." Xu Shizhang was still blinking, silent. "If it's inconvenient for you to go alone, you can ask Secretary-General Wu Jisun to go with you." Xu Shichang said: "I have already told him. The two of you are also cautious." Knowing that things cannot be changed, Xu Shizhang had no choice but to insist Scratching his scalp, he asked, "When are you going to leave?" "Let's go tonight." Xu Shichang said, "You go to Wu Jisun. Remember, pack lightly, and don't leak any news." Xu Shizhang withdrew, Xu Shichang chased him out again, and said to him earnestly: "You told Zhang Yuting that the main purpose of inviting him to enter the customs is to defend the capital and serve as a check. There is no other purpose. I can help you generously regarding military expenses." Xu Shizhang agreed one by one, and then retreated. Looking at the back of his cousin walking out, Xu Shichang breathed a deep sigh of relief -- but he didn't know whether it was relaxed or his heart was heavier? A battle of Zhifeng is inevitable. Before the Great War, both Zhifeng and Feng used their intelligence to create a favorable situation for themselves in order to win the hearts of the people and gain advantage; Chinese and military officials in Beijing to stabilize people's hearts; while suppressing Wu Peifu's military salary, he "redeemed" the Jiaoji Railway with a loan from Japan and changed it to a Sino-Japanese joint venture; in terms of military affairs, Zhang Zuolin mobilized three divisions and nine brigades to On the front line, military depots were set up in Luanzhou, Junliang City and other places, with sufficient supplies and weapons, and they would immediately go into battle as soon as an order was given. While Wu Peifu of the direct army was "watching quietly", he quickly transferred the troops scattered in Hunan and Hubei to the north, and sent a telegram to expose the various crimes of "collusion with Japan" in the Liang cabinet, claiming that "if anyone dares to use Liang Shiyi's borrowing of Japanese money and co-management of the railway as an Those who are, are the public enemies of the whole country, and all Chinese people should punish them together., "Demand Liang's cabinet to step down within seven days. Cao Kun, who lived in Baoding, was in a state of confusion. Cao had no malice towards Zhang Zuolin, and he was also an in-law. The war broke his peace, and what happened? But he had to go along with Wu Peifu.As a result, he presided over a military meeting and appointed Wu Peifu as the commander-in-chief, Zhang Guorong as the commander of the East Road, Wang Chengbin as the commander of the West Road, and Feng Yuxiang as the commander of the rear.Begin military action immediately. Zhang Zuolin named his army the Zhenwei Army, and he was the commander-in-chief. Sun Liechen was the deputy commander-in-chief. In the name of "defending Gyeonggi," he drove 150,000 troops into the pass, and sent another 50,000 people as preparations. ..... Serving both sides, actively preparing for war, the president's "cease the war" power-on, like letting go of a silent fart, no one paid attention. Relying on the strength of the officers and soldiers and their excellent equipment, Zhang Zuolin was the first to electrify to declare war. The war immediately unfolded simultaneously on the Changxindian, Machang, and Gu'an lines. Wu Peifu felt that the main force of the Feng army was on the West Road, so he went to Changxindian to command.From the beginning of the war, the firepower was very fierce.Fengjun Zhang Jinghui led a division of soldiers and horses to meet him, and Shiling artillery regiment fired fiercely.In an instant, gunpowder smoke filled the sky, dust was flying, bombs were raining down, and flesh and blood were flying everywhere! Within a dozen miles of Fangyue, the grass and trees were scorched, and the village collapsed.Although the direct army suffered heavy casualties, it made progress but never retreated.Killed until the sky was dim and the earth was dark, and the sun and the moon were dark.Just when the Zhijun was fighting fiercely, the Fengjun came up with two mixed brigades behind them to support them.Wu Peifu saw that he could not win, so he immediately withdrew to Zhuozhou to defend.The Feng army occupied Liangxiang. After the first round, the commanders of both sides saw the importance of the front line of Changxindian.Wu Peifu decided that Wang Chengbin would lead his troops to attack Changxindian head-on in order to contain the enemy. He himself led his troops to attack Sanjiadian, where Fengjun's weapons and ammunition were concentrated, from the side.In addition to making sure that the original defense line of the participating army would not move, Zhang Zuolin sent division Zou Fen to reinforce him, and issued a death order: "You don't have to come to see me if you lose Changxindian!" The second round unfolded rapidly: Wu Peifu succeeded in attacking three stores and was about to move, when Feng's army launched a two-sided attack, and the Zhijun had to retreat immediately.Wu Peifu and Wang Chengbin reunited and launched another fierce attack... On the battlefield, the Feng army suffered heavy casualties. Heavy, the reinforcements did not arrive, and they were defeated steadily.He himself defended his position, vomited blood and fainted, and finally broke through and withdrew to Lugou Bridge. The Donglu Fengjun was led by Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling. Most of the mid-level officers were from the Armed Forces School, and the soldiers had been carefully trained to be very powerful.After the war, they occupied Dacheng, Qingxian, Baxian and other places successively.Zhang Xueliang was injured in a tough battle, and the army made no further progress.In addition, Zhang Zuoxiang fought very badly, and his position gradually lost, and soon he was defeated.In the end, Changxindian fell. . Changxindian was lost, and the army was defeated like a mountain.Feng Jun retreated in the direction of Shanhaiguan.Zhang Zuolin personally went to Luofa to supervise the battle, and ordered the supervising team to block it with machine guns. Although more than ten regiment and battalion commanders who were unable to attack were killed, Luofa was still occupied by the direct army.Zhang Zuolin's defeated army had to go down the Luan River, and when they retreated to Shanhaiguan, there were not many left. After seven days, the first Zhifeng war ended with Fengzhang's defeat! For this war, Zhang Zuolin prepared for more than a year and dispatched nearly 200,000 troops.After he withdrew the defeated soldiers to Shanhaiguan, Zhang Zuolin felt particularly depressed, as if he had been bet on the "black game" back then, and almost gave up all his family property! When the prelude to the Zhifeng War kicked off, President Xu Shichang was almost certain that the Fengjun would win.For this reason, he couldn't wait to hold a grand, family-style banquet to celebrate this victory.However, when he raised his glass, he was stunned by the speed and surprise of the end of the war! When the news reached the banquet hall of the Presidential Palace, the white marble wine glass in his hand that he took from the Royal Dining Hall of the Forbidden City fell to the ground. , was smashed to pieces, and he also slumped on the chair of the grand master--if Feng Zhang is defeated, what kind of situation will the president face? He knows clearly in his heart... In the evening, Xu Shichang had a high fever.He was so burned that he was in a daze, and he said a lot of speechless words.At dawn the next day, he couldn't wait to find Xu Shizhang and Wu Jisun, stared at his slightly red and swollen eyes, and said incoherently: "What should I do? What do you think of it now?" It seemed that this situation was his cousin It was caused by the Secretary-General and the Secretary-General, and now the two of them must come up with a way to restore the mess and get out of the predicament. Xu Shizhang bowed his head and sat silently.Wu Jisun only cares about smoking.What the President said seemed to have nothing to do with them, and they had finished what they were supposed to do when they came here, and they left only waiting for the President to issue an order to expel the guests. Xu Shichang was impatient, he lifted the door and said: "Speak! Tell me! What should we do!" Wu Jisun wanted to express his opinion - he thought of the best way, that is to ask Xu Shichang to go down the field! However, Xu Shichang was not easy to do: the president was hard-won, and he was self-willed and mercenary. Before he saw the "coffin" Before, the president would not "cry".Therefore, the slick secretary-general only smiled faintly at Xu Shizhang, the president's cousin, hoping that he would come up with a clever plan like in the past. Xu Shizhang gave the Secretary-General an awkward smile - he knew his cousin, no matter how big a problem this person caused, he would never admit defeat or admit his mistakes.He wanted to follow his cousin's "inertia" to express an opinion--the war was caused by Zhang Zuolin's entry into the Customs, and now that he has lost out of Shanhaiguan, he should bear the responsibility for the war.However, Xu Shizhang immediately thought of the consequences. This is a way to set fire to himself. The world will scold him, and Zhang Zuolin will attack him.So, he swallowed again when the words came to his lips. In the luxurious living room, there was still silence.The silence was suffocating. Xu Shichang looked at these two subordinates who were as tight as nails, and became angry. He still took off his felt hat, opened his chest, opened his eyes, spit at the mouth, and said angrily: "You are all silent, as if you are all It’s okay, I’m the only one who can’t escape the guilt, and I must come up with a solution. Well, I’ll take my opinion. I’ve decided: it was you Xu Shizhang and Wu Jisun who started this war when you dealt with Zhang, Cao and Wu. Go to the Northeast It was you, Xu Shizhang and Wu Jisun, who were responsible for the deployment of troops. You two are the main culprits. Only by killing both of you can the situation be calmed down, and it will be considered a thank you to the world." "Ah--?!" Both of them were surprised at the same time. Wu Jisun was dumbfounded, he thought Xu Shichang would do that. Xu Shizhang panicked, and he also felt that Xu Shichang would do that.He knelt and crawled in front of Xu Shichang, crying loudly: "Fifth brother, fifth brother! You can't do that. Your autograph letter is still in Zhang Zuolin's hand, and he will publish it. If you kill us, the Chinese will scold you .I have an idea, you listen to me." Xu Shichang turned his back and remained silent. Xu Shizhang said again: "Fifth brother, in the future Wu Ziyu will attack you only because he entered the customs because of Zhang Zuolin. Now that Zhang Zuolin has been defeated, why don't you issue an order to remove Zhang Zuolin from all positions. If Zhang Zuolin is removed, the contradiction will naturally Ease, and the situation will calm down..." After all, Xu Shichang has reached the end of his life and there is no way out. As long as he can get by in front of him and get by, he will kill his head tomorrow and explain tomorrow.He was silent for a long time, then he shook his hands and said, "Go, go. You all go!" Soon, Xu Shichang issued four orders in the name of the President: Disband the current cabinet and arrest Liang Shiyi; Restrict Fengjun to withdraw from the customs immediately; Revocation of Zhang Zuolin's concurrent post, pending investigation; Wu Junsheng was appointed as the governor of Fengtian, and Yuan Jinkai was appointed governor of Fengtian. When Zhang Zuolin retreated from Shanhaiguan and was trying to save the defeat, when he saw the President's order, he immediately patted the table: "What order? The President is nothing!" All were burned, and then four more lines of defense were deployed in Shanhaiguan, Luanzhou and other places, and Li Jinglin's department, which suffered relatively light losses, was placed on the front line. The president's new appointment to Fengtian turned out to be Wu Peifu's trick. Wu Peifu wanted to create conflicts within the Fengjun in order to split them up.After Zhang Zuolin made a new deployment, he suddenly became aware of this problem. "Wu Ziyu is so powerful! Xu Ju is so insidious!" Now that someone inserted the "knife" into the interior, Zhang Zuolin decided to find out the details of the interior first. Zhang Zuolin didn't care much about Yuan Jinkai, he thought he was a feather fan player with no ambition to usurp power, the key was Wu Junsheng.So, he wanted to talk to Wu Junsheng alone.While hesitating, Wu Junsheng took a special car to Shanhaiguan.Zhang Zuolin was startled, and hurried to the station to meet him in person.After the two sat down in the barracks, Zhang Zuolin turned his face and said, "Brother, you came so fast! You have to allow me to make some preparations for such a big event..." Wu Junsheng became nervous: "Brother, what are you talking about?" "This is serious talk." Zhang Zuolin said: "The President dismissed me, and I also want to hand it over as soon as possible. Brother, please come to Fengtian as soon as possible to stabilize the hearts of the people. We are brothers in our own family. You are always better than others! " Wu Junsheng fell to his knees with a "plop", his face was flushed with anxiety, and he hurriedly said: "Marshal, aren't you scolding my eight generations of ancestors? I relied on you to drag me into Heilongjiang, and I have today. It is too late for me to repay my favor. How can I Come forward to dismantle your platform? Besides, whose president is Xu Shichang? Beijing is playing tricks, we can no longer listen to him!" "So..." Zhang Zuolin nodded. "Marshal, you are capable, and you can take care of big things. Think about it, if you put me in Fengtian, I will be squeezed out after a few days. These bastards in Beijing have a poisonous heart, we can't 1 fooled!" "Governor Yuan Jinkai..." "Old man Yuan is an educated person, what kind of tricks can't be seen through? He asked me to return to the commander-in-chief, ignoring Beijing's tricks. He is busy organizing the provincial council to see how to make a move!" "Brother," Zhang Zuolin hurriedly supported Wu Junsheng, and said, "According to what you said, the next step I should..." "Why are you still hesitating?" Wu Junsheng said: "Everyone guarantees you to sit in the three eastern provinces, and we will do our own thing!" "Okay! He Xu Laowu sits in his Golden Palace in Beijing, and I Zhang Zuolin sits in my Fengtian Forbidden City. Let's do our own thing!" Zhang Zuolin returned to Fengtian, announced the independence of the three eastern provinces, published the "Declaration of Independence of the Three Eastern Provinces", officially severed ties with the Beijing government, and announced that he had been "elected as the commander-in-chief of security in the three eastern provinces"! Zhang Zuolin also specially sent a telegram: " Report to the military and civilians of the whole country".The telegram will go to the Presidential Palace first. Xu Shichang thought it was Zhang Zuolin who obeyed his order and sent the "Book of Filial Loyalty", so he quickly put on his glasses and read it word by word-- ... Anarchy in the center since the cabinet issue.Zuolin is far away from the pass, and he doesn't want to do anything.Xu Shichang sent his younger brother Shizhang and Secretary-General Wu Jisun to come successively to serve, saying that the president ordered him to lead his troops into the customs to deter him.The president of the concubine is free to dispose of the administration of personnel.When obeying orders, lead the division out of customs.Later, when he wanted to withdraw his troops and return to defense, Xu sent Xu and Wu to keep them back again and again, saying that the Zhijun had a false name and could do nothing.Zuolin and Zhongshan are relatives by marriage, how could they bear to kill each other?Gu took the president's order to speak war against his will.He hated himself for being talented, so that he lost his teacher and lost his ground.And knowing the truth, knowing that he was being used by others, he decided to retreat to Luanzhou and go out to protect himself.Xu Shichang sent envoys again to persuade me to fight again, while taking away my power with orders, which is still perfunctory.This is treacherous, who will deceive him again! Xu Shichang is a man who is cunning and mercenary; he is full of affairs and deceives his widows; The party members forced Duan's family to go to the field; they trusted Cao Wu and asked Zuolin to eradicate them with soldiers.Zuolin is ignorant and sold by others.Since the Republic of China, there have been many incidents, and Xu Shichang took advantage of the fishermen.The outside world didn't notice, and mistakenly thought it was an old man who was a peacemaker, but they didn't know it was actually... Before Xu Shichang finished reading, he passed out on the ground. On June 2, 1922, Xu Shichang had to "resign" by telegram.
