Chapter 25 Chapter Twenty-Four

internal strife 1925, spring. The three provinces in Northeast China, which have been plagued by wars and wars, are in a state of fatigue, and even the ice and snow melt slowly; the cities and villages are withered, and the people are in dire straits; although the main battlefield is not outside the pass, there are no ruins or bomb craters left, and the villages and villages are destroyed by wars. The food, fodder and vehicles paid have made the prosperous households poor and hungry.Shenyang, the political and economic center of the three northeastern provinces, was also deathly quiet: the shops were closed, the streets were empty, and the one or two ordinary people who could be seen from time to time came out and in in a panic.

The people of the three eastern provinces have suffered a lot from the war! Zhang Zuolin was not willing to let it go. He hadn't fully enjoyed the joy of defeating Wu Peifu. He felt that he should not be defeated by the Yangtze River.The news of Sun Chuanfang's killing of Shi Congbin reached his ears. He believed it was a "rumor" and a trick to distract his army; it was not until Zhang Zongchang was defeated and retreated to Jinan that he really felt "defeated!" Failure is a fact.Just like the sun falling into the west mountain, night falls suddenly, if you don’t admit it’s dark, it’s always dark!

Zhang Zuolin sat in the luxurious living room of his Xingyuan, his face was swollen with gas, and he stared intently—who was he staring at? There was no one in front of him long ago.People all know his temper, and when he gets angry, he scolds whoever is in front of him, and after that, he may give you two slaps in the face again.Who can bear it? Zhang Zuolin didn't expect him to lose, let alone lose so quickly! Wu Peifu mobilized 300,000 troops, and he still fought with him for two months. How many people are Sun Chuanfang? Qi Xieyuan was defeated by them in only five days , lost the Yangtze River Delta, and ran to Shandong like a rabbit.If he hadn't given the death order, Zhang Zongchang would have rushed to Tianjin and into Shanhaiguan in one go.

What annoyed Zhang Zuolin the most was that Feng Yuxiang, who had hid in Zhangjiakou, took advantage of the fire and drove the team outside Beijing.What does Feng Yuxiang want to do? Zhang Zuolin knows it clearly... Zhang Zuolin returned to Fengtian and called all his army and division commanders to the commander-in-chief's residence. Without any discussion, he issued a new order: In this battle in the south of the Yangtze River, our defeat was astounding! Sun Chuanfang, the bastard, even killed General Xuan, and I can't spare him! "Cough--, it's also my fault for being impatient, and I opened my mouth too much. I didn't expect that the southeast land is a hard bone, and I can't swallow it for a while; Be able to fall and get up.

"Now, let's put aside our abacus of eating the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and then eating the world. We still have to seize the territory. If we can't seize the whole of China, we will first seize half of China. We have to fight, and we will have something to do if we continue to fight." , the fight will have a bright future!" "Now I order: Jiang Dengxuan and Zhang Zongchang's troops will go south again, fight back to Xuzhou, and build a good position, don't let the **** Laba's descendants Chuanfang and Wu Peifu fight again; Li Jinglin, Zhang Xueliang, Guo Songling's troops, fight to the edge of Beijing, This time, your task is to drive Feng Yuxiang boy out of North China!"

After the order was issued, there was a pause for a moment. I don't know if it was inspiration or conscience. Zhang Zuolin didn't wave his hand like he did in the past, telling everyone to "execute it!" Be gentle and say, "Is this okay? Whoever has an opinion puts it on the table." After years of fighting, some people in Zhang Zuolin's team were tired of fighting.Guo Songling disagreed with continuing the fight.Following Zhang Zuolin's topic, he expressed his opinion. "We have just been defeated in Jiangnan this time, our morale has been greatly injured, and the team is not in order. Now we have to train well. Otherwise, we will not be able to fight. Besides, the common people are poor. If we fight again , can't afford it. So, I think it's better not to fight for a while."

When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he became furious. "Is it okay if we don't fight? Feng Yuxiang has occupied Beijing, so if we don't fight..." Guo Songling was also excited—he didn't want to fight anymore—"Feng Yuxiang wouldn't want to occupy Beijing, would he? If he wanted to, when Wu Peifu was defeated and Cao Kun stepped down, he stayed in Beijing. Isn't it justifiable! I think , Feng Yuxiang is quite open-minded. Now that the spheres of influence in the Northwest and Northeast have been clearly drawn, it would be nice to keep their own and maintain stability. The commander-in-chief can also do something to win the hearts of the people and advocate peace..."

Zhang Zuolin stood up "teng--", he wanted to reprimand Guo Songling: "Why am I so unpopular?" However, he didn't attack, took a deep breath, and sat down again. After the Second Zhifeng War, most of the backbone of Fengjun satisfied their desire for territory.After these people became warlords and governors, they hadn't had time to enjoy themselves, so most of them agreed with Guo Songling's truce.Li Jinglin, the new governor of Zhili, took advantage of Guo Songling's topic and said: "Feng Yuxiang helped us after all when we fought against Cao and Wu. Now we have differences, can we resolve them through negotiation? The current enemy is still Wu Peifu. He ran to the south I don’t know when it will make a comeback. We should use our main force to deal with this enemy.” Zhang Zongchang has just seized the military and political power in Shandong, but he knows it is very unstable.In addition, his Lu army and Li Jinglin's Zhi army have formed the Zhi-Shandong coalition army, so he agrees with Li Jinglin's opinion.He said: "Sun Chuanfang is the worst kid. He has teamed up with Wu Peifu. If Sun Chuanfang is not eliminated, Fang can't do it!"

Opinions were divided, and the debate became fierce: Jiang Dengxuan advocated the immediate crusade against Feng Yuxiang to prevent him from combining with the southern revolutionary party; … Zhang Zuolin originally pretended to let everyone talk about it, not wanting to cause sharp disputes, and this dispute is related to the key issue of whether to fight or not.He couldn't sit still -- Zhang Zuolin had a habit of never allowing others to sway his opinions.He stood up, waved his hands, calmed everyone down, and said: "Everyone stop talking, I understand your opinions, let me think about who is good and who is not. Now I have to listen to me." Yes. My deployment remains unchanged, so you go and follow it!" However, Zhang Zuolin knew very well in his heart that Guo Songling and Li Jinglin did not support him beating Feng Yuxiang, and Zhang Zuolin was disgusted by the behavior of these two people.But he still hid it in his heart and did not advance or retreat for the time being.

Guo Songling left the venue and did not go home. He went to Zhang Xueliang and wanted to fight for it again, so he asked the commander to delay sending troops.Guo Songling felt that the relationship between him and Zhang Xueliang was unusual: before the Second Direct War, they jointly led the Third Army of the Feng Army, Zhang Xueliang was the commander, and Guo Songling was the deputy commander; One positive and one negative.In the battle of Nine Gates, Guo Songling withdrew from the battlefield in a rage, and it was Zhang Xueliang who chased him back.After returning, Guo Songling fought a beautiful battle to turn the tide of the battle and secure the victory.For a long time, due to the same ideological consistency, they have long been in love with each other, and have become key figures in the new faction of Fengjun, and have formed a relatively consistent opinion; they all advocate no internal wars, less internal wars, and strive for peaceful reunification.

Guo Songling came to Zhang Xueliang's residence, and the two sat down opposite each other. Guo said straight to the point: "Hanqing, at today's meeting, there have been obvious differences. The commander didn't let everyone continue to fight, and you didn't speak. I don't know you." What's your opinion?" Zhang Xueliang originally supported Guo Songling's view of truce.However, he did not dare to express his attitude in front of Lao Tzu.Guo Songling came to the door, and he thought about it: Before this, there were already people talking about Zhang Xueliang organizing a new Fengjun to compete with Lao Tzu's old Fengjun.Zhang Zuolin once scolded him, calling him "too crazy".What should we do now? Supporting Guo Songling is obviously contrary to Lao Tzu's opinion. The old and new schools are more divided, and the old man will take action in anger; supporting Lao Tzu's opinion of sending troops is obviously not from the heart, and I feel sorry for Guo Songling.After thinking for a long time, I said: "Maochen, to be honest, I haven't thought about this issue. It's related to the overall situation. I think the commander has his own opinion." "This..." Guo Songling was stunned, he didn't expect Zhang Xueliang to say something ambiguous.he is very angry.But he didn't want to argue with Zhang Xueliang any more, so he had to leave quickly.Guo Songling, also known as Maochen, was born in the suburbs of Shenyang. He claimed to be a descendant of Guo Ziyi, the king of Fenyang.The family was poor, and at the age of 16, he worked as a laborer for the landlord. He was called a little ghost - Guo Guizi. In March 1905, he applied for the "Fengtian Army Primary School" founded by Zhao Erxun, graduated two years later, and was assigned to the three towns of the Beiyang Army as a trainee; later he joined the Sichuan New Army as a battalion commander.After the Revolution of 1911, he left Sichuan and returned to Fengtian, and participated in the "Tongmenghui Excitement Meeting" organized by Zhang Rong, a member of the Tongmenghui.After Zhang Zuolin suppressed the Tongmenghui, Guo was arrested.After being rescued by the Tongmenghui, he was released from prison, and went to the Beijing General School Research Institute, and later served as an instructor of the Beijing Jiangwu Hall with excellent results.Because of his support for Sun Yat-sen's Dharma-protection movement, Guo Songling defected to the Guangdong Dharma-protection government; in May 1918, Sun Yat-sen was forced to resign by telegram, and Guo returned to Fengtian and served as a major staff officer in the Governor's Office.After Zhang Zuolin usurped Fengtian's military power, he was very suspicious of him. He once questioned him face to face: "You used to be a revolutionary party, why are you here today?" Guo didn't answer.Write a poem to confess that night: From the moon to the heart of heaven, When the wind blows over the water, Generally clear meaning, Little is known. When Guo was an instructor in the lecture hall, Zhang Xueliang fell in love with him.Zhang Xueliang wanted to reform the old army when he was the brigade commander of the patrol envoy, but because he had no one around him, he asked his father to transfer Guo to his side and became the chief of staff of the brigade and the head of the second regiment.Since then, the relationship with Zhang Xueliang has become closer. In 1921, Guo was promoted to the commander of the Eighth Mixed Brigade; in 1922, during a Zhifeng war, although Fengjun was defeated.But Guo Bu won several battles.In the subsequent reorganization of the army, due to his drastic reforms, the quality of the army was greatly improved soon.Guo's troops are known as "model troops".As Guo's strength increased, Yang Yuting's situation of taking over military power changed. Yang then played tricks in front of Zhang Zuolin to drive a wedge between them.It so happened that at this time, Zhang Zuolin sent Luan Guitian, his private accountant, to serve as the director of military supplies in Guo's department, but Guo refused to accept him because of "no vacancies".From then on, Zhang Zuolin held a grudge against Guo.During the Second Zhifeng War, Zhang employed people in a hurry, and even Zhang Xueliang recommended him, so he reluctantly appointed Guo as the deputy commander of the third army.Although Guo led the team to escape during the battle, although no loss was caused, Zhang Xueliang made great achievements after recovering, but Zhang Zuolin was still dissatisfied with him.Now, on the issue of continuing to send troops, Guo has a disagreement with the old marshal, and he has not received the support of the young marshal. He is very disappointed.At this time, someone came to report and said, "the commander-in-chief asks Commander Guo to discuss something urgent." "What's urgent?" Guo Songling was surprised. "Besides continuing to send troops, there is no other urgent matter." He muttered uneasily. "Is it good or bad?" On the way to the Marshal's Mansion, Guo Songling first thought of evil: "Zhang Zuolin is capricious. People who go against him are rarely immune to blows. Could it be that he wants to kill me?" Guo Songling thought it was impossible: "He also If the north and the south use troops, I have to count him as his arm, and now he still wants to use me, so he won't kill him." Guo Songling suddenly had another fantasy: "After World War II, all those who should be promoted have been promoted, and they should take up territory. They all take up the territory, even Jiang Dengxuan, Zhang Zongchang, the governor of the governor, and the governor of the governor. In terms of rewards, I have more credit than any of them, so why not reward me? Maybe the commander discovered the imbalance, Now do something to make up for it." Guo Songling came to the commander's mansion crankily and restlessly.Zhang Zuolin met him in the small living room.The atmosphere was very harmonious, Zhang Zuolin dressed casually, with a smile on his face, greeted him outside, and took Guo Songling's hand and said, "Maochen, I have something to discuss with you alone. Come, sit down." After the two sat down facing each other, Zhang Zuolin pushed the tea that had already been brewed to Guo Songling, and said: "Yesterday, I received an official document from the Japanese Consulate and the Kwantung Army Headquarters that the Japanese Army is going to hold autumn exercises, and we are invited to send a senior general." Go to visit. This is not a small face!" "Okay! The Japanese are friendly to us." Guo Songling said without hesitation. "Maochen, I decided to let you go on this decent errand. After arriving in Tokyo, you can also visit the Japanese Prime Minister on my behalf and thank them for their various assistance to us. How about it? Besides, after arriving in Japan, after watching the exercises, Don't be in a hurry to come back, just go to some places in Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya to go shopping, it's easy." This is indeed a decent job. Guo Songling also wanted to go to Japan to see the army there, to study some problems, so that he could bring out a good army by drawing on other people's experience.But then he changed his mind: "At this tense moment when the soldiers are raised again, you sent me to Japan and asked me not to come back in a hurry. Do you think I'm in his way?" He immediately thought of the just-concluded and controversial military Meeting.I secretly smiled in my heart. "Okay, measures have been taken." But Guo Songling still said: "Thank you for your kindness, Marshal, for giving Maochen such a decent job, and Maochen will definitely live up to his fate! Well, then you should prepare and pack up Take what you need, hurry up and start." Guo Songling had to rush to Japan. After Zhang Zongchang won the military and political power in Shandong, he was ordered by Zhang Zuolin to defend Xuzhou.Zhang Zongchang then arranged for his Lieutenant Colonel Sun Bochuan to be the guard envoy of Xuzhou.When Sun led the army to go south, Zhang Zongchang saw him off at home. In the midst of great hospitality, he only said one sentence: "Man, Xuzhou is my south gate. If you go out, there are enemies. If you can't defend, I will kill you." It's all over." Sun Bochuan puffed his belly and said, "Please don't worry, the governor, there is Xuzhou with me!" Sun Bochuan is not actually a general, nor is it because Zhijun has a relationship with Zhang Zongchang.When Zhang Zongchang planted opium widely in Wuzhan, Jilin because of his poverty, he was an errand boy in the economic bank. He once sold opium for Zhang Zongchang.Soon, the title of lieutenant colonel was mixed up.This person has a little ability in the trading business, leading troops to fight and guarding the "border gate", he really doesn't have this kind of ability. Not long after Sun Bo arrived in Xuzhou, the Henan Nationalist Second Army cooperated with the Nationalist First Army to force Li Jinglin to send troops to Shandong.The first to bear the brunt is Xuzhou.Sun Bochuan panicked -- Zhang Zongchang wanted to go to the front line himself when he saw Xuzhou soldiers pressing down on the border and knew that Sun Bochuan was not a "top door".Sure enough, before he set off in Jinan, Sun Bochuan had already fled without firing a single shot.The door was opened, wolves entered the house, the southern army marched north, and Jinan was also in chaos.Zhang Zongchang was in a state of desperation and didn't know what to do for a while. "His mother's a stinker! No shot fired, the door is wide open, what kind of bear soldier?" Zhang Zongchang was angry. "I must kill Sun Bo Chuan!" After the gate was opened, the enemy army drove straight in. Zhang Zongchang spent a lot of effort and suffered heavy losses, and finally saved Jinan.After the situation stabilized, Zhang Zongchang tidied up the stragglers who had fled back from Xuzhou, expanded some more people, and organized a brigade. He appointed Yang Xiufeng, his student in the education group, as the brigade commander, and asked him to organize a counterattack and try to fight back to Xuzhou. go.At the same time, they sent people around to inquire about Sun Bochuan's whereabouts. "Be sure to catch grandson Bo and pass on the Dharma! His mother's, Lao Tzu's unraveling of the board this time is all caused by him. I can't regain my vitality after spending another two years! Guisun, ruin my big event!" Soon, Zhang Zongchang found out clearly that Sun Bochuan took the team to Boshan, Shandong for reorganization.Zhang Zongchang was not relentless, and sent two brigades to encircle and suppress. The encircling and suppressing army spread out, and as soon as they received the fire, Sun Bochuan was so frightened that he pissed his ass off. He hurried to Zhang Zongchang's chief of staff, Wang Hanming, who was already the commander of the 11th Army, and knelt down and cried. "The warlord wants to punish me, so I dare not come with an order. Why do you treat me as an enemy and send a large army to encircle and suppress me? That's good, how many brothers died unexpectedly." When Wang Hanming saw Sun Bochuan's distressed appearance, his hat was lost, and his coat was so rotten that the cotton was exposed, he knew that he had suffered a lot, and felt a little pity in his heart.After thinking for a long time and persuading him for a while, he finally said, "Bo Chuan, I have a way to save you. I don't know if you can do it or not?" "As long as the warlord doesn't execute me, I can do anything." Sun Bochuan was still begging.Wang Hanming said: "I'll send someone to take you to the warlord right now..." "Huh?" Sun Bochuan was stunned. "He even wiped out my troops. I met the Warlord, and he still can't kill my head?" Wang Hanming smiled and shook his head—he knew Zhang Zongchang, military orders and government orders, as long as he opened his mouth, everything would be fart! Zhang Zongchang has been a bandit for many years, and he has developed a sense of loyalty in the world: it is a big deal, and the high hat is on his head As soon as he wore it, he kowtowed in front of him, and the smoke disappeared.Therefore, Wang Hanming said to Sun Bo: "Don't worry, I will escort you to the supervisor, but I want you to confess to him in person, and nothing will happen." Sun Bochuan had no choice but to agree, and followed Wang Hanming to supervise the army's yamen in fear. When he saw Zhang Zongchang, he didn't say anything. Zhang Zongchang was angrily waiting for the news of "eliminating Sun Bochuan". When he looked up and saw Sun Bochuan kneeling in front of him, he immediately added fuel to the fire. !" The bullet was loaded, and a lunge... Wang Hanming was also taken aback: "Zhang Zongchang is really going to kill Sun Bochuan?"--Zhang Zongchang is a murderous bandit without batting an eyelid. In a fit of anger, he killed Sun Bochuan with a single gesture.Sun Bochuan immediately lost his mind. However, Zhang Zongchang's hand that raised the gun hesitated in the air, and then put it down after a long time. "Hmm-" he snorted nasally. "Sun Bo passed on that you are a coward! I Zhang Zongchang kills a coward, and I am also a coward." As he said, he tucked the pistol back into his waist.Then he said: "Go away, my subordinates don't accept cowards." Zhang Zongchang did not kill Sun Bochuan, Sun Bochuan was already grateful.Although I still wanted to say something, I felt that it was not the time to speak, so I quickly got up, stepped back and walked out.Just retreating to the threshold, I heard a call: "You come back!" Suspecting that Zhang Zongchang had repented and was going to kill him again, Sun Ti Chuan stood still, trembling all over.Trembling and shaking, paralyzed there. "Don't be afraid." Zhang Zongchang's attitude was gentle. "Let me ask you a question: Are you here to plead guilty and ask to die, or to pretend to be a bear bag and play tricks on me in order to survive?" "I..." Sun Bochuan didn't know what to say. Wang Hanming kept silent.When Zhang Zongchang drove Sun Bochuan away, although he wanted to intercede, he still didn't open his mouth.Now, Sun Bochuan is noncommittal, he has to speak. "Supervisor, Sun Bochuan told me on the road that Xuzhou was lost, he was guilty, please shoot him!" "Yes, yes! I'm guilty, I'm guilty! I've come to plead guilty and beg to die, how dare I beg to live!" Sun Bochuan regained consciousness. "Okay! Based on this, if you risk your life to come here, you should be rewarded with a brigade commander. You go back, tidy up the team, and become your brigade commander." After Guo Songling arrived in Japan, he took advantage of visiting the Japanese army's autumn drills, on the one hand to inspect the Japanese military situation, and on the other hand, to have more extensive contacts with people in the military and political circles.Gradually, he learned some inside stories about Zhang Zuolin's collusion with Japan, which aroused his infinite indignation: "The Northeast is about to perish, and Zhang Zuolin also lured wolves into the house. The people are miserable!"He developed anti-Bong ideas in Japan. --Since Duan Zhigui resigned in 1916, Zhang Zuolin gained the military and political power in Fengtian Province, and he has firmly established a way of promotion: Japan must not offend Japan if he wants to maintain his status and develop himself in the three eastern provinces, and he must do everything possible to win over Japan People are the backing. Not long after Zhang Zuolin came to power, Babu Zhabu, a royalist of Eastern Mongolia, made trouble in northern Liaoning under the instigation of Japan.When the disturbance failed, the Japanese provoked the Zhengjiatun incident again, threatening Zhang Zuolin to submit.Zhang Zuolin was unwilling to give up power to the royalists, and he did not dare to offend the Japanese, so he sent Juchi consultant to Zhengjiatun to investigate.They said it was an investigation, but actually they wanted Kikuchi to act as a mediator, to make big things into small things, to ease the tense situation, and not to embarrass themselves with the Japanese.As a result of Juchi's activities, Zhang Zuolin did not send troops, nor did he hold Babu Zhabu accountable.The "mystery" that had been hidden in Guo Songling's heart for many years was finally solved: "I said, the people of the three eastern provinces hate the Zhengjiatun incident so much, why didn't the government deal with it? It turned out that Zhang Zuolin belonged to the Japanese forces." Later, Zhang Zuolin followed the command of the Japanese with this principle of non-resistance.In 1916, Major General Uesi, the active Japanese regiment leader stationed in the Northeast, held a secret meeting in the Shenyang Manchurian Subsidiary Area, and planned to secretly kill Zhang Zuolin.A few days after that, when Zhang Zuolin returned from welcoming Japanese guests at Shenyang Station on Nanman Road, two bombs exploded, almost killing him.This is what Shangjing ordered the remnants of the Qing Dynasty to do.Afterwards, a Japanese man named Machino (who was hired by Zhang Zuolin as a consultant) said to him: "This may be directed by Uekai. I insisted on opposing him to be hostile to you at the secret meeting held by Uekai. I said: Who wants to move?" I was the first to disobey Zhang Zuolin. They did it anyway." Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin was very moved, and felt that the Japanese were not all bad people, but there were good people, not to mention that they were powerful.From then on, Zhang Zuolin regarded Machino as his confidant.Machino is sent to Japan once or twice a year, and Machino helps him to contact the dignitaries of various factions in Japan, and expresses to the Japanese that he is willing to be their "loyal foreign vassal".Even the chief of staff and the secretary-general were completely unaware of this event, and all matters were hosted by the fifth wife, Zhang Shouyi.Machino colluded with Japan for Zhang Zuolin for 9 years, and shared nearly one million yuan of hard-earned silver from the people of Northeast China.Later, with Zhang Zuolin's funding, Machino bought a member of the House of Representatives in Japan. The Japanese really want Zhang Zuolin to be in power in China, and if the world belongs to Zhang Zuolin, it will also belong to the Japanese.When Zhang Zuolin was plotting the Second Zhifeng War in the Shuncheng Palace in Beijing, the Japanese Machino said to the people present: "Next time we will meet at the Xinhua Palace!" Zhang Zuolin relied on the Japanese, and Yang Yuting also relied on the Japanese.Kikuchi of the Japanese General Staff Headquarters had secret contact with Yang for six years.Juchi has a baronial position and is a member of the House of Nobles. This person is very interested in the northeast territory.Later, the Japanese headquarters decided to send Kenji Doihara to replace Machino... Zhang Zuolin had to ask Japanese consultants for advice whenever he encountered any problems, and acted according to the Japanese's winks. Guo Songling is a member of the Tongmenghui. He wants to rely on Sun Yat-sen to start his own business, and he does not want to be a sinner for Zhang Zuolin's fight for power.Therefore, during his stay in Japan, Guo Songling had the idea of ​​abandoning and opposing Feng. In fact, Guo Songling wanted to oppose Feng, not just because of Feng Zhang and Japan, that can only be one of the reasons; the other reason, or the main reason, was caused by the conflict between Guo Songling and Jiang Dengxuan during the second Zhi Feng war .At that time, after Guo led the team away because of the artillery regiment incident, he wanted to join forces with Feng Yuxiang to defeat Feng; Zhang Zuolin's reward and punishment were unknown after the war, which made Guo disgusted, and wanted to cooperate with Feng Yuxiang when Feng's army went south.When Sun Yat-sen died of illness, Guo Songling felt that China's political situation was bound to fall into chaos. Only by cooperating with Feng Yuxiang could China's future be promising.Therefore, Guo Songling got in touch with Feng Yuxiang through Wang Naimo, a classmate of Luda University and the director of the Jinghan Railway (under the jurisdiction of Feng Yuxiang at the time), and was willing to cooperate.Feng also expressed his willingness to cooperate with him.Guo Songling believes that after the successful anti-Feng, he can join Feng and let the national army rule China. After Guo Songling returned from Japan, he only stopped in Shenyang for a ceremonial report to Zhang Zuolin, and then hurried back to Tianjin.At that time, Zhang Xueliang was setting up the Third Front Army Command in Tianjin.The Three Fronts Army has a total of three armies, and is the only elite force in the Feng Army. Zhang Xueliang is the commander of the army, and Guo is the deputy and concurrently the commander of the three armies.Zhang Xueliang had a lot of part-time jobs and was not often in Tianjin, so the command was handed over to Guo Songling.Guo Songling was in power, took advantage of the opportunity to organize the headquarters, actively reorganized the team, promoted a large number of progressive officers, cleaned up redundant personnel, and made preparations for rebellion. After the preparation of Fengjun, Zhang Zuolin was about to march southward in a big way.Zhang Xueliang sent an urgent call to Guo Songling, asking him to prepare for the march.Seeing that civil war was inevitable, Guo Songling resolutely disobeyed orders and did not make preparations for marching. He invited several trusted generals to come before him and said to them: "I have been with you for many years, and I dare not be arbitrary. I have decided not to be Zhang Zuolin's accomplice. , no longer work hard for Zhang's land grab. I hope you can put the country and the nation first, and make great things happen together." These people are all Guo's confidantes, and they have just been promoted to officials, and they are planning to follow him step by step, so which one would not follow.Therefore, they said in unison: "I would like to follow General Guo to take a new path and fight against Zhang together." After Guo Songling settled the team, he said he was sick and was admitted to a foreign hospital in the concession, and took his wife to Tianjin. Mrs. Guo Songling's name is Han Shuxiu, who was originally a graduate of Fengtian Women's Normal School.Progressive in thinking, decent, enthusiastic about social undertakings, he used to be a teacher in a school for poor children in Fengtian.Han Shuxiu and Guo Songling are like-minded and depend on each other for life.She is also extremely disapproving of militarism, and once advised Guo Songling to abandon Zhang and find another way of life. Guo Songling explained her plan to his wife in detail, and said: "Shuxiu, doing this is extremely risky, and I will risk my life and wealth. I am really afraid that I will hurt you and bring you misfortune." "Maochen, what are you talking about?" Han Shuxiu stood opposite her husband and said, "It's not that I don't understand your thoughts, let alone that I don't support them. Now that something is going to happen, I should congratulate you, I'm afraid of getting involved! When I came to Tianjin this time, I decided not to leave you again, even if I go up the mountain of swords or into the sea of ​​fire, I will stand by your side." Guo Songling was both surprised and happy after hearing what his wife said.He hurriedly said: "This way I can feel relieved. Let's go on a new path! I hope we can reach a new realm!"
