Chapter 21 Chapter Twenty

The battle of Zhifeng, Zhang Feng made a secret agreement After more than a year of hard work and bravery, the old view of the Fengjun has changed greatly, especially the second and sixth brigades under Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, which have the best quality and become the champion of all divisions and brigades. Zhang Zuolin is regarded as the backbone of the Fengjun.During this period, the weapons and equipment of the Fengjun Army were also greatly enriched. After the Chief of General Staff Yang Yuting served as the supervisor of the Fengtian Arsenal, the scale was expanded several times. There are more than 600,000 bullets and more than 1,000 machine guns; after purchasing aircraft from Germany and Italy, the Fengjun Air Force, with Zhang Xueliang as the head of the Aviation Department, has more than 200 aircraft, which are organized into four brigades, airports, and material warehouses. At the same time, a naval command was set up in Harbin, a naval school was established, and an aviation police department for professional management of the navy was set up within the security command. .For the convenience of wartime mobilization and rear service, Zhang Zuolin ordered people to repair waiting lines, water supply, coal supply and other equipment on the railway lines in Suizhong, Xingcheng, Dayaogou and other strategic places.On the one hand, roads were built between the concentration areas of the various armies outside the railway line. In addition to the corresponding telecommunication lines directly connected with the general headquarters, radio stations were established in Shenyang, Harbin, Jinxian and other places between the various armies.Zhang Zuolin seems to have become the most powerful faction and the most talented military strategist in China!

It should also be said that Zhang Zuolin encountered a good opportunity. In this year, a war was launched in the Yangtze River Delta between Qi Xieyuan, a governor of Jiangsu and a direct warlord, and Lu Yongxiang, a warlord of Zhejiang and an Anhui warlord (known in history as the "Battle of Qilu"). ), because Sun Chuanfang was forced out of Fujian, desperate, Taking advantage of the emptiness of Hangzhou, they attacked Lu Yongxiang's lair. Lu Yongxiang fled in defeat and defected to Zhang Zuolin, which added another force to Fengjun. At this time, the Zhili warlords, because Cao Kun was focused on being the president, were all focused on bribery, while Wu Peifu was in Luoyang, training troops and raising wages. He only wanted to unify China by force, and was not interested in Cao Kun's eagerness to take power.As a result, the Baoding School, the Tianjin School and the Luoyang School were clearly separated in the direct lineage.

Except that Lu Yongxiang defected to Fengzhang (it is said that not long after Lu arrived in Fengtian, he joined forces with Zhang Zuolin and Sun Yat-sen to form a "triangular alliance", Fengzhang helped Lu fight back to Zhejiang, Lu assisted Fengzhang to defeat Cao Wu, and then welcomed Mr. Sun to go north , and Duan Qirui co-chaired the great government), Wu Xinguang, Wang Yitang, Zeng Yujun, the backbone figures of the Anhui Clique, and Jia Deyao, a figure of the Anhui Clan who often walked between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Yuxiang, all gathered in Fengtian for close political consultations.

On that day, Zhang Zuolin and his son Zhang Xueliang talked for a long time in the secret room, and tasted a delicious lunch sent by the fifth wife. They were very excited and talked freely.Zhang Zuolin wiped his chin with the back of his hand and asked his son, "Liu Zi, this battle seems inevitable. From what you can see, what will happen in the end?" Zhang Xueliang smiled contemptuously, and said: "With our military training and equipment, Wu Peifu..." He shook his head. "No problem?!" Zhang Zuolin asked. "Father, in the past few years, Wu Peifu has won battles against Anhui and defeated me in battles against Wan and me. He has won even battles, and his military power has been greatly boosted. He has become domineering and domineering. He is invincible. A proud soldier must be defeated! In my opinion, there is no mistake in defeating him."

Zhang Zuolin shook his head. "I'm afraid of you like this. Arrogant soldiers will lose, you are right; but you forgot that there is another sentence. We will lose if we underestimate the enemy! In the previous battle, we lost because of the fucking underestimation of the enemy. You don't accept this Lesson. Wu Peifu is not an idiot, and his men are not remnants and weak generals. Fighting one by one, we may not be able to beat him." Zhang Xueliang didn't dare to argue with his father, so he hurriedly said submissively: "Yes, yes." Then he said: "How should I fight?"

"Let's use your fifth aunt's method." Zhang Zuolin said: "Pay attention to strategy." He repeated the fifth wife's handling of the teacher's learning and thinking, and said: "How is it? There is learning here." Zhang Xueliang nodded .But his eyebrows were locked. "What are you worried about?" Zhang Zuolin said, "You can't figure out your fifth aunt's method?" Zhang Xueliang said: "After all, Wu Peifu is not the teacher who taught the fourth brother. A few packages of gifts can't touch his heart. I'm afraid..."

"I know it well." Zhang Zuolin said: "The current direct lineage is no longer monolithic. There are already trenches in Baoding and Luoyang; even Wu Peifu's generals are not all steel poles, such as Feng Yuxiang." Zhang Xueliang laughed suddenly. "Dad, I see." "Just understand." Zhang Zuolin said: "Before the battle is fought, I want you to choose a capable person. First go to Beijing to find Feng Huanzhang. What should I say? What should I bring? You can do it yourself Bar." "I see." Zhang Xueliang withdrew. Feng Yuxiang, courtesy name Huanzhang, was born in Chaoxian County, Anhui Province. He was born in Qingxian County, Zhili (now Hebei Province) in 1882. He joined the Fifth Battalion of Baoding as a soldier in 1896. He joined Yuan Shikai in 1902, hoping to make contributions to Yuan Shikai's new Beiyang army.Later, he attached himself to Duan Qirui, a warlord of the Anhui clique, but Duan Qirui's "little fan military adviser" Xu Shuzheng couldn't tolerate him, so he withdrew his military salary, wanted to reorganize his mixed brigade, and tried to "exile" him to the frontier, making him There is no place to stand.In a fit of rage, he turned to Cao Kun, the Zhili warlord.During the first Zhifeng War, Feng Yuxiang made great contributions to Cao Kun. Cao Kun said with gratitude: "I was able to win all because of Huanzhang." However, Wu Peifu could not tolerate him.When Cao Kun appointed Feng Yuxiang as the governor of Henan with a heart of gratitude, Wu Peifu sent a confidant named Bao Dequan as "Henan Military Affairs Assistant".In fact, a surveillance post was set up beside Feng Yuxiang.Feng Yuxiang couldn't bear it anymore, and as a result, Baodequan was shot by Feng Yuxiang when he passed through Kaifeng on his way to his post.Since then, the gulf between Feng and Wu has deepened, and they vowed not to be at odds.

Feng Yuxiang's Henan governor was unable to do so. After Cao Kun bribed the president, he transferred Feng to Beijing Nanyuan in the name of being promoted to "Army Review Envoy".In fact, Feng's military power was controlled. After Feng Yuxiang was stationed in Nanyuan, he originally wanted to reorganize the army and wait for the opportunity to make contributions, but he learned that he would be sent to fight Zhang Zuolin again. "Didn't Zhang Zuolin quit Shanhaiguan, why did he start another war?" At this time, Liu Ji, his chief of staff, returned to Nanyuan from Beijing and secretly said to him: General, Zhang Xueliang's representative is here and wants to see you. "

"Where is it?" "In Beijing." Feng Yuxiang pondered for a moment, and said, "You can bring him here tomorrow, so that he won't be caught in Beijing. If there are many, there will be right and wrong again." The next day, Liu Ji accompanied Fu Xingpei, Zhang Xueliang's representative, to Nanyuan.Feng Yuxiang met him in a secret room. "Commander Zhang and the young marshal asked me to greet the general." Fu Xingpei said politely. "Zhang Shuai, young marshals are welcome!" Feng Yuxiang was also polite. "The commander-in-chief has already sent a letter to General Feng, and I think the general has already seen it." Fu Xingpei said, "The commander-in-chief is deeply saddened by the harm caused by the war to the people, and he is working hard to eliminate the war, to secure his own land, and to develop his career. I hope the general understands." The painstaking efforts of the commander-in-chief."

A few days ago, Duan Qirui was entrusted by Zhang Zuolin to send a representative to Nanyuan to meet with Feng Yuxiang, and delivered a letter to him! He also stated that "after defeating Cao and Wu, the Feng army will no longer enter the pass, and the political situation in Beijing can be presided over by Feng." ".Feng Yuxiang has already acquiesced to this meaning.Therefore, when Fu Xingpei mentioned this matter, Feng Yuxiang hurriedly said: "I know everything." After a pause, he said: "Mr. Fu, it is not suitable to stay in Beijing for a long time, you should go back to Fengtian as soon as possible."

Fu Xingpei nodded in agreement, took out a Japanese bank draft from his underwear pocket, and said, "General Feng, the commander-in-chief heard that your military salary is relatively difficult at the moment. Here is 2 million yen. It's a small supplement, and it also means that the general manager The Commander's kindness is welcome." Feng Yuxiang only smiled faintly, said "Thank you Zhang Shuai for your concern!" and ordered someone to accept it.When Zhang Zuolin was preparing for revenge, Wu Peifu was also preparing for another expedition. Wu Peifu felt more and more complacent. Although he did not quite agree with Cao Kun's immediate assumption of power, Cao Kun had climbed to the throne of the President after all, and the Beijing government was completely controlled by the direct line.In this way, Wu Peifu used the centralization of power as an excuse to unify the army, and actively promoted his policy of eliminating dissidents and unifying by force.The scope of his efforts has expanded from the Yellow River Basin to the Yangtze River Basin; he also extended his hand to the southwest, instigated Sichuan, Guizhou and other armies to attack Sichuan, and colluded with Chen Jiongming and Shen Hongying to contain Guangdong.After all these things were done, they focused their attention on the north, and sent heavy troops to guard Chifeng, Chaoyang and Shanhaiguan, saying that it was "to prevent the Fengjun from entering the pass", but in fact they waited for the opportunity to eliminate the Fengjun.Wu Peifu has controlled 300,000 elite soldiers in Luoyang. He is full of spirit and ambition, and he has long had a great vision for the Central Plains, and he has the potential to increase domestically. However, Wu Peifu also has thoughts and concerns: he has already noticed that the immediate family is not united.The two factions of Tianjin and Bao supported Cao and suppressed Wu, and Wu Peifu felt dissatisfied with Wu everywhere; and there were also conflicts within Jin and Bao because Wu Jinglian and Gao Lingpi competed for the position of prime minister of the cabinet.Wu Peifu was bored in Luoyang asking and answering: "Sure enough, if there is a big war, will there be a unified action? Can you hold your fist against Feng?" He sighed and shook his head. In the "Battle of Qilu" in the Yangtze River Delta, Lu Yongxiang lost to Fengtian. Qi Xieyuan was originally a member of the immediate family, so he was naturally one of Wu Peifu's main forces. Wu Peifu should feel relieved about Southeast.But he couldn't let it go, because there was Lu Yongxiang, but Sun Chuanfang was added! Sun Chuanfang, in Wu Peifu's impression, is a capricious person.Although he is also from the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy and is an old man directly related to Beiyang, he is too unreliable and does not agree with Cao and Wu.Fujian was defeated and took advantage of the danger to take Hangzhou.Although he "generously" gave up the fat in Shanghai to Wu Peifu, and Wu also sent his confidant Zhang Yunming as the commander of Shanghai's defense, Shanghai is always in the southeast corner, and Wu Peifu feels that it is beyond his reach, and Sun Chuanfang is entrenched in Zhejiang. One day the gangster turned his face, and he took back Shanghai.Wu Peifu especially thought of the upcoming Second World War Zhifeng, "Will Sun Chuanfang take advantage of Lu Yongxiang's danger to seize Hangzhou again, and he occupied my Yangtze River Delta when I attacked Feng!" Thinking of this, Wu Peifu Immediately sent a special person to Hangzhou, specifically expressing his deep relationship with Sun Chuanfang, saying that "we will definitely not interfere in Zhejiang," and he was willing to "hand over Shanghai to the general's jurisdiction when necessary." Sun Chuanfang saw the strength of the Zhili clique after the First World War in Zhifeng, and was afraid that Wu Peifu would "swallow" him under the pretext of "swallowing". Handsome and effective!" Wu Peifu received Sun Chuanfang's promise, raised his face and smiled: "Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin, this time is not the last time, I want you to be unable to hold Fengtian!" Wu Peifu's soldiers pressed against the mirror, and Chifeng, Chaoyang, and Shanhaiguan were in urgent need every day. Zhang Zuolin held the last military meeting in Fengtian with the participation of officers above the brigade commander, and laid out a battle plan-- It's Mid-Autumn Festival again! Fengtian City was peaceful, and so was the mighty and austere Commander's Mansion. The corps, brigade commanders, and staff officers participating in the emergency military meeting filed into the venue and waited quietly for the commander to issue an order.The venue was very quiet, there was no whispering, not even a single smoker.With their chests straight, they looked at the quiet and deserted command platform with their eyes level.Yang Yuting, who was sitting in the front seat, was a little anxious: "It's time, why isn't the commander-in-chief here yet?" He looked sideways at Zhang Xueliang, who was also a little anxious.The two exchanged glances and walked out one after another. , "Where is the commander-in-chief?" Yang Yuting asked. "I was having breakfast just now." Zhang Xueliang said. The two rushed to the restaurant, but there was no one in the restaurant.The two of them went to the small living room again, but there was no one in the small living room.They walked into the inner room of the small living room and found Zhang Zuolin lying on a sofa, snoring startlingly. "Commander-in-Chief, Commander-in-Chief!" Yang Yuting shouted hastily. Zhang Zuolin twisted his head and woke up. "What's the matter?" He had long forgotten about the military meeting. Zhang Xueliang leaned forward and said: "The commanders of the army are all here, please go and publish..." "Oh! Are you waiting for my meeting? Why didn't you call me earlier?" Zhang Zuolin rubbed his eyes, stood up, and explained: "This battle has made me suffer. After you left last night, I will never meet again. I can't catch my eyes, I'm thinking and thinking, and when I open my eyes, the goddamn sun is coming out..." But he raised his face and laughed hahaha. "Wu Peifu, I can't spare him! His rabbit's tail can't grow anymore!" Zhang Zuolin came to the venue.Everyone stood up, and he waved his hands to let everyone sit down; he threw his hat on the table in front of him and said, "Are you in a hurry? Don't worry. I know it well. We lost last time because we didn't plan well. ;This time, if we make the plan thoughtful, we have to call Wu Peifu a big defeat! How to fight this battle, I will let the Chief of Staff of Linge (Yang Yuting) announce the order later, I will only say one requirement, you must meet it, the first phase of the battle, Resolutely annihilate the main force of the enemy, and establish Beijing and Tianjin as the main goal. After winning this first battle, how to fight the second battle, I have new orders!?" Said, turning his face to Yang Yuting. Yang Yuting stood up and announced the following order: 1. The main force is used on the Shanhaiguan side of the Beijing-Fengfeng Line, to catch the enemy by surprise and seize Shanhaiguan first; and to occupy a cover position in the area west of Shanhaiguan so that the main force can concentrate in the area around Shanhaiguan; if it is absolutely necessary, it must also be One part occupied a cover position near Qiansuo, while the main force was concentrated in Suizhong County and the area near Yixi. Second, use one army to deploy in Rehe, and focus on Yixian County and Dayaogou respectively. The main task is to capture Chaoyang, Jianping, and Chengde, and reach the area west of Lingyuan. 3. After the cavalry group concentrated near Zhangwu, it marched towards the territory of Rehe. For the purpose of occupying Chifeng. Fourth, the main reserve team is placed between Xingcheng and Suizhong with the main force, and part of it is placed in Jinzhou on standby. Then, Yang Yuting announced the formation of the army: the first and third armies formed a joint army, and the task was to capture Shanhaiguan and then advance to Beijing and Tianjin; however, it was necessary to keep in touch with the second army and the cavalry in order to work together.Most of the Second Army is in Yixian County, attacking towards Chaoyang, and the other is in Dayaogou towards Rehe, in order to achieve the tasks stipulated in the second order.After the cavalry occupied Chifeng, they entered the Great Wall through Xifengkou or Gubeikou depending on the situation.The General Reserve is appointed by the Fourth Army.The air force base is in Shenyang, and three brigades must be dispatched, two teams are under the command of the First and Third Armies, and one team is located in Yi County and under the command of the Second Army.Everyone should pay close attention to repairing the lift airport...... Zhang Zuolin stood up and said, "Do you understand? This battle is fought like this! Wherever you lose, the commander will punish you. How about it?" "Resolutely execute the order, complete the task, and win the victory!" Zhang Zuolin smiled.He looked at the commanders standing in front of him one by one, and he felt unshakable confidence-- This time, Zhang Zuolin broke the boat, and the main cadres of the military division were replaced with caring people. They were fully equipped, and their salaries were paid for three months at a time. The victory over Wu Peifu this time is completely assured.After the military meeting, the commanders all went back to the defense line.Zhang Zuolin left Zhang Zongchang alone, took him to the small living room, had dinner with him, and stayed overnight-- Zhang Zuolin was very reassuring about his armies. The first army was led by Jiang Dengxuan and Han Linchun, the second army was Zhang Jinglin and Zhang Zongchang; the third army was Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling;Except for Zhang Zongchang, which one is not his confidant! Zhang Zongchang can also be regarded as a friend.This man was defeated in Jiangxi, and he came to vote with bare rods. It has only been six years, and he has given him a deputy army commander in six years, which is enough to know him.However, Zhang Zuolin still wanted to talk to him alone. "Xiao Kun, I've been looking for a chance to have a drink with you these two years, but I can't find a chance." Facing Zhang Zongchang, Zhang Zuolin guarded the special food and wine and said, "Today, I finally found a chance." , let's get drunk!" "Marshal..." Zhang Zongchang said cautiously. "Don't be handsome, handsome." Zhang Zuolin shook his hand: "Today is a family banquet. Family banquet! Who told us to have the same surname! No one can write two sheets in one stroke." "It's a family banquet, it's a family banquet!" Zhang Zongchang said: "I, Zhang Xiaokun, entered the Shuai's mansion to enter the house! I saw the word Zhang on the big lantern in your living room, and my belly is quite high!" "That's right." Zhang Zuolin said, "As long as I, Zhang Zuolin, don't step down, the Shuai Mansion will always be your home!" "Why did the commander-in-chief say this?!" Zhang Zongchang approached. "In the world of Northeast China, the surname is always Zhang! I don't think he would dare to change his surname?!" Zhang Zuolin picked up his cup and just smiled. Zhang Zongchang has fine details in roughness.Zhang Zuolin only left him for dinner alone, and he spent a lot of thinking: "Well, I was not relieved when I became the deputy commander of the Second Army just now, or? If you are not at ease, don't give it to the deputy commander." He thought again, I felt "wrong. After I arrived in Fengtian, I went up steadily. Zhang Zuolin looked up to me, not people like Cao Kun and Wu Peifu..." Thinking of Cao Kun, Zhang Zongchang was furious: "Grandson kid, I took my eight golden immortal birthday stars for nothing. One day, I must get them back!" Thinking that Zhang Zuolin treated him well, he suddenly understood: "Now the big battle is going to be fought, and those army commanders and division commanders are all Zhang Zuolin's. Old brother, what am I? I have to have an attitude towards him." Thinking of this, he also hurriedly picked up his glass and said, "Master..." "Why are you so handsome again?" "This time I have to be called the commander-in-chief." Zhang Zongchang said: "Family affairs belong to family affairs, and our military orders belong to military orders. It is clear what to say! Isn't there going to be a big battle? Let me express my heart to you... "Zhang Zuolin put down the wine glass.The face is also down. "Xiao Kun, a family banquet is a family banquet. You need to express your determination. I pulled you out when I announced the order just now. I don't like that. I, what's the use of going to the battlefield and sneaking away? I don't want you to show your determination. Drink, talk about family affairs, and speak your mind." What a powerful Zhang Zuolin! While talking and laughing, Zhang Zongchangtong was tightly bound up and down. --Zhang Zuolin has always held a persistent attitude towards Zhang Zongchang.At the beginning, when Zhang Zongchang came to Fengtian to vote with Xu Kun, he met for the first time, not the eight golden immortals.At that time, he had no money, he was dressed in rags, and he carried a rotten basket in one hand.Seeing Zhang Zuolin, he stood still and just put the rotten basket in front of him.This strange meeting made many people dumbfounded. They didn't know what this old bandit wanted to do. But Zhang Zuolin had a good understanding and could see through it at a glance.He walked over, patted Zhang Zongchang on the shoulder, and said, "Xiaokun, you are willing to shoulder heavy burdens for my Zhang Zuolin's career. It seems that you are here to ask me for something. Good! I will give you a solid one." Pole, let you pick up these two baskets to make it useful!" Zhang Zongchang smiled. "You can see through my heart at a glance, and I will give my heart to you, Zhang Zongchang, and it will never be black!" Zhang Zongchang contributed to Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zongchang contributed to the collection of Jilin and White Russian stragglers; although the first Zhifeng War failed, the Sulu Ranger led by Zhang Zongchang fought beautifully in Daxing Town on the Sulu border. After the defeat of Zhang Zuolin's entire army, Zhang Zongchang still led his troops back to Fengtian and saved a strong army for him, which was also highly appreciated by Zhang Zuolin.Since Zhang Zongchang incorporated the Belarusian rout and obtained a large number of weapons, he became a powerful force under Zhang Zuolin, and Zhang Zuolin appointed him as the commander of the third mixed brigade.However, Zhang Zongchang gambled day and night and prostituted himself, and his army was slack, so Zhang Zuolin was always worried; especially his bong, which was almost as precious as his life. "Sooner or later, the military pay will also be poured on the bong." After hearing Zhang Zuolin's words, Zhang Zongchang smiled understandingly. "Okay, let's just do homework." He picked up the cup and handed it over respectfully with both hands, and said, "To be honest, I only hope that you will live a long life without disaster, and have a happy life in a few years." "I can't die." Zhang Zuolin said, "I'm stuck! I'm telling the truth, Wu Peifu is immortal, and I won't rest in peace when I die." "That kid is not worth mentioning." Zhang Zongchang said: "One day, I will let him eat without a word." Zhang Zuolin seemed to have come to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Don't talk about this man, don't talk about this." "If you don't talk about it, you're talking nonsense." Zhang Zongchang said: "Commander, you let Zhang Zongchang give up. I told my brothers before coming to the meeting: This time we will win the battle, and there will be no problems; If you come back after being defeated, Fengtian will not support idlers, so you have to find a mountain valley, everyone give me a year name, and let's go to Luocao! What do you say? What do you say? They said: Luocao? We have to help our commander to go to Beijing Go to Luocao! See which family dares to block us? That's when I said, you have seeds! Your seeds are bigger than mine!" He raised his face and laughed. "Xiao Kun, I understand your heart." Zhang Zuolin said: "When you return to the team tomorrow, leave a list of the things you want, and I will have someone deliver them to you." "No, don't want anything." Zhang Zongchang said: "Wu Peifu has everything there, and it's all ours in the evening!" On the second day after the Fengtian Military Conference, Ma Bingnan, an adjutant sent by Zhang Zuolin to guard his real estate in Beijing, Shuncheng Palace, came in a hurry.Seeing Zhang Zuolin, he said dejectedly, "Marshal, something happened in Beijing." "What's the matter?" Zhang Zuolin asked. "Beijing Police Commander Wang Huaiqing forcibly confiscated Shuncheng Palace." "What?!" Zhang Zuolin jumped up. "Wang Huaiqing's mother ate the guts of a leopard and dared to confiscate my real estate!" Magang Nan nodded. "I'm going to send someone to bring it back!" Yang Yuting, who was standing by the side, smiled and said, "Why bother, you can let Wang Huaiqing be a dog for a few days." After a pause, he said, "It's a good thing that he can guard our house for a few days. Don't take it back now." " "What? The property is mine..." Zhang Zuolin was furious. "If we win this battle, even Zhongnanhai will be ours; if we lose, it will be useless to have the Shuncheng Palace." Zhang Zuolin finally calmed down. "Okay, keep the account in the book, We will count together at that time. " "The problem now is that we still have to send people to Beijing. Feng Huanzhang's line must be tightened to avoid unpredictable times." Zhang Zuolin thought for a while and said, "Bingnan, you still go back to Beijing. Go find Zhang Shusheng again and find out how Feng Huanzhang is doing?" Ma Bingnan said: "I met Zhang Shusheng before I left Beijing. He said that Feng Yuxiang was very depressed and wanted to contact the commander in chief." "That's better. You tell him that I strongly support him." After thinking for a while, he said: "I heard that General Feng is going to marry Ms. Li Dequan in Beijing recently. You should go to congratulate him on behalf of Xueliang. The last gift. You tell him again, I will do my best to solve the problem of army supplies." Ma Bingnan hurried back to Beijing and went to find Zhang Shusheng again. Zhang Shusheng was Feng Yuxiang's director of communication, and they had known each other when Ma Bingnan was the secretary of the regiment when he was the commander of the cavalry company of the 20th Town.In addition, both Feng and Ma are Christians, and they are even closer.Ma Bingnan was accompanied by Zhang Shusheng to Nanyuan. When he saw Feng Yuxiang, Ma said: "Yu Shuai and his son respect General Huanzhang very much and are willing to cooperate closely with him." ~ Feng Yuxiang said: "It depends on your efforts between the two of us (referring to Feng and Zhang Zuolin)!" "Yushuai and Hanqing were very happy to learn that the general and Ms. Li were going to be married. They should have come to congratulate them in person. Due to the inconvenience, let me extend the congratulations on their behalf. May the two of you live together for a hundred years and fall in love with each other!" A heavy gift is sent. Feng Yuxiang said with a smile: "It's rare that Yu Shuai thinks about it, thank you Yu Shuai and Han Qing for their kindness:" When Ma Bingnan quit, Feng Yuxiang said: "Beijing has many eyes and ears, and Nanyuan is not peaceful. I will let Shusheng tell you what will happen in the future; if Yu Shuai has something, you can also tell Shusheng directly, and he will tell me. ." Zhang Shusheng sent Ma Bingnan out, and told him in secret: "According to the reliable information we have received, Wu Peifu's plan is roughly finalized. He will send Feng's troops out of Gubeikou, and pass through Chengde and Dongmeng to attack the rear of the Feng army. After the victory, Xu Feng As the chairman of Heilongjiang Province." "General Feng accepted?" Ma Bingnan asked.Zhang Shusheng shook his head. "The wish made in the last war has not been fulfilled, and General Feng is disheartened." "What is he going to do?" "At least preserve the army." Zhang Shusheng said, "We'll see the situation at that time. Please tell Yu Shuai that if there is a war with Feng You as a last resort, you can only deal with it and shoot at the sky, and you must not fight." "I will definitely convey this kindness to Yushuai." Zhang Zuolin was very happy to get Feng Yuxiang's promise, and he decided to send troops to attack Cao Wu immediately.It was announced that the Security Army of the three eastern provinces would be changed to the Zhenwei Army, and that he would be the commander-in-chief, with six armies and 300,000 soldiers under his command. On September 13, 1924, ordinary trains on the Jingfeng Railway Line were suspended; on September 15, Fengjun dispatched to Shanhaiguan and Rehe in two routes; on September 18, Fengjun launched a general attack on the Zhijun position.. .... The biggest war in the melee of Chinese warlords--the Second Zhifeng War kicked off...
