Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty-Five

Fengri colluded, Guo Songling died There was a change in Guo Songling, which was reported by Jiang Dengxuan to Zhang Zuolin.At first, Zhang Zuolin didn't believe it. He felt that Guo Songling was trusted and recommended by his son Zhang Xueliang. Even if he had prejudice against me, he had to take into account his relationship with his son so that there would be no drastic changes.However, Zhang Zuolin is also well aware of the conflict between him and Guo Songling.At the end of the Second Zhifeng War, Guo Songling should be second to none in terms of merit. Zhang Zuolin didn't reward him generously, because he was afraid that he would be too powerful and unable to control him.It's not that Zhang Zuolin doesn't believe that Guo Songling has changed. He is familiar with the mentality of people fighting for power and profit. Let alone a general, father and son, brothers, they will fight to the death.Zhang Zuolin wants to try it out.

Zhang Zuolin sent an urgent telegram to Guo Songling, summoning him to "return to Fengtian as soon as possible to study major military affairs".When Guo Songling received the telegram, he sent back an urgent telegram, saying, "I'm seriously ill, so it's inconvenient to go." Zhang Zuolin was frightened. He immediately brought his son Zhang Xueliang to him, and said solemnly, "Sixth, Guizi Guo is going to make trouble, you know what?" "No way." Zhang Xueliang frowned, and said, "I never noticed any difference in him." "You..." Zhang Zuolin glared at him. "When you find out, maybe your head will fall off."

"Then..." Zhang Xueliang didn't dare to argue anymore. "Go to Tianjin right away." Zhang Zuolin said, "Didn't Guizi Guo say that he was sick, and that he was too sick to get out of bed? You go find out the truth. If you meet him, also find out his attitude towards the current situation." ." "Yes, I'm leaving right now." When Zhang Xueliang arrived in Tianjin and the Concession Hospital, seeing that Guo Songling was not sick, he was shocked: "Could it be that Guo Maochen is really going to make trouble?" He sat in front of Guo Songling and was about to inquire about the situation, but Guo Songling opened the door first. "Hanqing, I don't need to go into details. Now I have to show my cards: the old man is too old-fashioned. Yang Yuting and his gang surround the old man too tightly, and the old man insists on going his own way. The situation in the Northeast is unimaginable. I decided to use military advice to ask the old man Shuai Xiaye..."

"Admonishment?" Zhang Xueliang shook his body and stood up. "Hanqing, don't get me wrong. Maochen's move is absolutely selfless. He only asks the old commander to let the virtuous, the father let the son succeed, and you Hanqing will take over as the commander-in-chief of the Zhenwei Army to reform the political situation in the Northeast. In this way, Maochen is willing to wholeheartedly support ." Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling have the same ambitions and love as brothers, and they have long had the ambition to change the political situation in Northeast China.However, when it came to taking his father's position by force, he couldn't make up his mind.

"Maochen, isn't it too reckless to act like this?" "There's nothing else to do." "I can't agree to that." "At the critical moment, Hanqing, you shouldn't be so worried, you might suffer a loss." Guo Songling stopped forcing him. Zhang Xueliang left Tianjin for Beijing after leaving a letter. Feng Yuxiang found out about this, and Feng immediately told Guo Songling that he was going to detain Zhang Xueliang in Beijing.Guo immediately disagreed. "I have been with Hanqing for many years, and I know this person's heart, please let go!" He ordered his troops to protect Zhang Xueliang and send him out safely.

When Zhang Xueliang returned to Fengtian, Guo Songling's rebellion had been confirmed. After Zhang Zuolin was furious, he decided to send troops from Jiang Dengxuan and Zhang Zongchang, "We must wipe out the rebel generals and surround the three front forces." Knowing that the matter had been exposed, Guo Songling could no longer hesitate: he immediately came out of the hospital, personally led the troops eastward, and decided to use Luanzhou as a temporary base camp.After arriving in Luan, a meeting of the leaders of the army, division, and brigade was held in a certain place in Luan County. First, he read Zhang Zuolin's telegram calling him back to Fengtian, and then said: "I think the country is in dire straits, the people's livelihood is dying, and I can't bear to fight again. He insisted on making peace with the national army, but unexpectedly the commander-in-chief would not forgive him, he suspected that I was collaborating with the enemy, and sent me back to be punished. I will not be spared..." Guo Songling counted the crimes of Zhang Zuolin, Yang Yuting, Jiang Dengxuan and others, and then Said: "I have made up my mind that I will never participate in the civil war this time. I have drawn up two plans here: one is to move troops to cultivate and not participate in the civil war; ."

At this time, the old school deputy commanders Zhao Enzhen, Gao Weiyue, Qi Enming and others did not want to oppose it, and only signed the first plan; the rest all signed the second plan. Guo Songling sneered and said: "Those who don't want to participate in the war have to be wronged first. You go back to Tianjin first and let the Li Jinglin governor arrange it." After that, he ordered these people to be escorted out.Guo Songling then announced: Accept Feng Yuxiang's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast National Army, with five armies under his jurisdiction: Liu Wei of the First Army, Liu Zhendong of the Second Army, Fan Pujiang of the Third Army, Ji Yun of the Fourth Army, and Wei Yisanjian, Chief of Staff Commander of Artillery (soon he was appointed commander of the Fifth Army).Externally, orders are still issued in the name of Zhang Xueliang, the commander of the Third Allied Army.At the same time, the electrification is issued, and there are three main purposes of the electrification:

1. Oppose civil war and advocate peace; Second, ask Zhang Zuolin, who is a disaster for the country and admiring Japan, to go down to punish Yang Yuting, the main culprit; Third, support Zhang Xueliang as the leader and reform the three eastern provinces. At this time, someone came to report, and Jiang Deng chose to come to see him. "Him?" Guo Songling was taken aback. "It came so fast!" Guo Songling wanted to go out to meet him, but someone dissuaded him: "The big event has been decided, and the telegram has been sent out. This time, Jiang Dengxuan was ordered to suppress him. Why see him!" But some people said: "Jiang Dengxuan has been appointed. As the commander of the Fourth Army, he has already left his post, and I am afraid that he has not been ordered to suppress him. You can see him. Acting on camera, if it doesn't work, he will be detained."

Guo Songling hated Jiang for a long time. During the second straight battle, Jiang attacked the Jiumen Gate but stood still, followed military orders and dealt with lower-level officers indiscriminately;Later, Zhang Xueliang chased him back, Guo Songling, and Jiang Dengxuan fled the battlefield with an excuse.Nine gates were still captured by Guo.As a result, Jiang Deng, who escaped from the battlefield, was rewarded heavily.Guo Songling's resentment was unbearable.This time, the enemy came to the door, not to mention whether he came to suppress the mission, because they met for nothing, Guo Songling would not spare him.

"Where is Jiang Dengxuan now?" Guo Songling asked.Now in the car outside Luanzhou city. " "Please!" Guo Songling said. The visitor met Jiang Dengxuan and said, "Deputy Commander Guo, please have a talk with the Commander in the city." Jiang Deng chose a few entourages to get off the train and followed them into the city.Here, Jiang's other entourages were also "invited" into Luanzhou successively.After Jiang was invited into the city, the guards were released immediately, and he was detained in a secret place, and no communication with outsiders was allowed.Jiang was taken aback.

"I was ordered by Marshal Zhang to see Commander Guo on an urgent matter. Why did you detain me?" An officer in charge of guarding said to him: "League commander, don't be so prestige, we are rebelling against Marshal Zhang." After that, he handed over the power-up that Guo Songling had just sent. "Please take a look at the legion leader. If you are willing to sign your name on it, naturally everything can be said. If you don't agree, don't force it. The legion leader can naturally think about the consequences." Jiang Dengxuan picked up the power and saw that it was against Zhang Zuolin, so he immediately threw it to the ground. "Nonsense, nonsense! You are killing yourself! I want to see you, Commander Guo." "Mr. Guo has an order: He will not interview you until you accept the telegram." "I will never approve of his rebellion!" A day later, someone came to him again and asked him: "Army Commander, have you made up your mind? Our Army Commander is still willing to work with you and create great things again. Please don't miss this opportunity." Jiang Dengxuan leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and said nothing.After repeated urging, he shook his head and said: "There is nothing more to say, and I will never fight back!" The guarding officer didn't ask any more questions, and waved to the door, shouting: "Execute!" The four guards rushed in, immediately dragged Jiang Deng out, and shot him on the spot. After Guo Songling issued a telegram against Feng Yuxiang, Feng Yuxiang also issued a complaint against Zhang Zuolin on November 25, lamenting Zhang Zuolin's crimes: "Disregarding the safety of the country and the life and death of the people, he blindly insists on being strong, causing disasters in Zhilu, and approaching Gyeonggi; when the Shanghai case happened, he had the heart to work for a tiger , Zongbing killed students and workers, violated human nature... Follow the example of Zhang Xun and Yuan Shikai, regard those who are loyal to the Republic of China as enemies, and those who praise the imperial system are cited as the same kind" and other words.After the appeal was issued, Zhang Zhijiang was ordered to station in Fengtai Yuluofa area; Song Zheyuan was ordered to quickly concentrate in Duolun, and go straight to Rehe and Chifeng; Feng himself returned to Zhangjiakou and directed the troops to take action. Li Jinglin also sent a call to discuss Zhang on the same day.But the content of the power-up is ambiguous, leaving a way out for himself. Guo Songling immediately issued an marching order: Liu Wei's department took the lead and went straight to Shanhaiguan; Liu Zhen's east marched along Jingyu Avenue to Shanhaiguan; Wei Yi's third department, two regiments and an engineering battalion went first... At the same time as raising troops, Guo Songling approached Zhang Tingshu, the head of his 90th regiment, and said to him: "Tingshu, my father and I have always had a good relationship. Now we are going to confront each other. I want to send you to Shanhaiguan first, and say I really hope that your father can work with me and leave Fengzhang." Zhang Tingshu is the son of Zhang Zuoxiang, the general of Fengjun guarding Shanhaiguan and Zhang Zuolin's younger brother.Zhang Tingshu said to Guo: "I must persuade my father according to the wishes of the army commander." Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhang Tingshu arrived at Shanhaiguan, he explained to his father all the deployment of Guo Songling. Zhang Zuoxiang adjusted his deployment and reported it to Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Zuolin also made comprehensive adjustments to his deployment in time-this made it difficult for Guo's army to advance. Zhang Zuolin was caught off guard by Guo Songling's sudden rise of troops. After hastily making arrangements, he also took some political measures accordingly. He knew that Guo Songling and other new faction figures hated Yang Yuting the most, so he asked Yang to resign immediately from all positions in order to get rid of Guo Songling's excuse of rebellion; On the one hand, let Zhang Xueliang go to see Guo again, persuade him to stop the war, and discuss and resolve differences. Zhang Xueliang knew it would be useless to go there, so he led a few capable assistants to Guo Songling's place.Zhang Xueliang first went to Jinxi, and then changed the waterway to Qinhuangdao. Through the Japanese consultant Yi'e, he contacted Shoutian, a doctor in Luanzhou who had treated Guo Songling, and finally found Guo, saying that Zhang Xueliang wanted to see Guo.Guo Songling asked Dr. Shoutian to send a message, saying: "All the words have been finished with Han Qing in Tianjin, and there is no need to see you again." Zhang Xueliang wrote another letter of his own, sincerely persuading Guo Songling to reconcile.After watching it, Guo Songling was speechless for a while.Shou Tian, ​​who sent the letter, also persuaded: "General Guo, the sincerity of the young commander is also rare. May I ask the general to change the way of mobilizing troops?" Guo Songling thought over and over again, feeling that troubles had already started, even if there was a temporary peace, Zhang Zuolin would not let it go.It's better to go on as intended. "Mr. Morita, this time the army is raised. After careful consideration. If the general goes down and Han Qing takes over, I would like to go down and spend the rest of my life quietly." After several days of correspondence correspondence, Zhang Zuolin did not make the decision to "crusade" Guo Jun until November 29. On the 30th, a crusade order was officially issued.Guo Songling saw that Zhang Zuolin had no intention of leaving the field, and Zhang Xueliang was unwilling to join forces with him, so he stopped issuing orders in Zhang Xueliang's name, and sent telegrams across the country in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Northeast National Army, and then the army left the customs. At this time, the main force that Zhang Zuolin could mobilize was only Zhang Zuoxiang's Fifth Front Army, and its combat effectiveness was very poor.Zhang Zuolin pinned his hopes on the Japanese and offered a reward of 800,000 yuan for capturing Guo Songling alive. After Guo Jun left the customs, he originally planned to take Jinzhou directly, and then take advantage of the victory to capture Fengtian.At the beginning of the march, Li Jinglin turned against him and made Guo Jun suffer from the enemy.On the one hand, Guo Songling called Feng Yuxiang to support him with his strength, and on the other hand, he was preparing to launch a general offensive before Fengjun deployed a new formation, in order to break through Fengjun's Lianshan-Jinzhou defense line. Lianshan is the throat of Jinxi, an important passage for the Jingfeng Railway, facing Huludao, and has a railway branch line.The frontline commander of Fengjun is Zhang Xueliang.Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zuoxiang ordered officers and soldiers to rush to build fortifications in Lianshan to stop Guo Jun. On December 2 and 3, the weather in western Liaoning changed suddenly, and there was a heavy snow that had not happened in a century: the mountains, rivers and plains were covered with snow, the sea was frozen, and people and horses could pass through.Guo Songling took advantage of this favorable opportunity and launched an attack across the board.Guo Jun's anti-Bong sentiment was very high, and all the officers and soldiers took the lead bravely.As a result, the Feng army was defeated, and Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zuoxiang retreated to Gaoqiao Town by train.Before retreating, he ordered to blow up Nvnuqiao, trying to prevent Guo Jun from advancing again so that Pinghe could defend it. In the battle of Lianshan, Feng's army collapsed across the board, with more than a thousand casualties, one division surrendered to Guo, one brigade was captured, and all the artillery was seized. After Guo Jun captured Lianshan, he took advantage of the victory to enter Gaoqiao Town and surrounded Huludao; on the 5th, Guo Jun attacked Jinzhou again.The Jinzhou garrison was in a panic, the officers and soldiers did not recognize each other, and the command suddenly failed.Seeing that the situation was over, Zhang Zuoxiang took the road and fled north. On the 7th, Guo Jun occupied Jinzhou, and his vanguard occupied Goubangzi, approaching Shenyang; on the 8th, Guo Songling sent a victory telegram. When Fengjun Lianshan was defeated, Zhang Zuolin was panicked.His face was ashen, he was restless, as if the city had fallen and he was about to be captured.He hurriedly ordered, "The Shuai Mansion is ready for transfer." For a while, there was a panic inside and outside the Shuai Mansion; in Fengtian City, it was even more chaotic. Civil and military officials, gentry, businessmen and rich households were busy packing up small things and withdrawing deposits. , looking for a car to find a way, and sent the family members to Dalian and Lushun.Cuihao, Zengsheng, Hongxing and other big silver and big gold shops in the city were the first to close down for an inventory "; some larger shops also took off their valuables, some small shops closed, and some raised their prices; rumors abounded , The gangsters are rampant! Zhang Zuolin in the Marshal's Mansion changed his temper overnight, becoming extremely irritable, irritable, and swearing; he hid in the house during the day, pacing non-stop like a fox in a cage; He was lying in his clothes, as if an accident would happen at any time, and he was ready to escape at any time; the two pistols beside him were loaded with top bullets, and it seemed that there would be a hand-to-hand combat in the commander's mansion at any time. Zhang Zuolin was at a loss. Sometimes, he yelled "rice!" But when the rice was delivered to him, he didn't even glance at it; "roll!" On December 5th, night fell.The night was very dark.The wind blowing from the northwest rolled the snow particles on the ground, and with a whistling sound, it knocked on the tightly sealed doors and windows from time to time.Zhang Xueliang went to the front line, and the only one beside him was Yang Yuting, who had been announced by him to be resigned from all posts. Zhang Zuolin decided too reluctantly and regretted Yang Yuting's resignation.Therefore, even though the power-on was sent out in a grand manner, it seemed that it was only for Guo Songling and others to see, but he still absolutely did not allow Yang Yuting to leave the commander-in-chief's mansion.After the war broke out, especially after the frontlines were losing successively, Zhang Zuolin felt that Yang Yuting could not leave his side; he would tremble when he could not see him. "Lin Pavilion", he called his nickname and said: "In case of failure, shall I go to Dalian to hide, or stay here and stand firm?" Yang Yuting hung his head—he has been hanging his head.His head hadn't been lifted since the power-up to dismiss him.Although he knew that the electrification was a piece of waste paper inside, his spirit disappeared along with the radio wave -- he thought unsteadily: "If I really go to Dalian, I will not hide, but abscond, and I will be charged with many crimes." Absconding; standing? How to stand up? There is strength to stand up, and now it will go on. The only way to stand up is to fly a white flag. However, Yang Yuting will not open up and tell the truth. He cheers up, or say There was an encouraging word: "Commander, don't worry, I know Guo Guizi, he doesn't have much stamina.After rushing for a while, it will naturally lose. " Zhang Zuolin shook his head and thought, "You're deceiving me again. Don't I know how strong Guo Songling is? He took almost all of my savings over the years!" Zhang Zuolin turned his back and said with a sigh : "The situation is over, I have decided to step down." "Going to the field?" Yang Yuting was very surprised. "There is no other way." Zhang Zuolin said: "You tell everyone who can come, I want to tell them..." Yang Yuting was dejected and called all the military and government officials in Shenyang. Zhang Zuolin said listlessly: "Now there is no need to say anything. You don't need to ask. There is only one way: I have two things, you go and do them." : 1. Instruct Zhang Xueliang to clean up the army and quickly discuss peace with Guo Songling; Second, the Guo army in front is still stationed at the original defense, waiting for orders.I - go to Dalian tonight. "Speaking of which, he sat limply on the chair. None of the people present at the meeting spoke. They just stared at Yang Yuting with different expressions, as if they were accusing him that he should bear the main responsibility for the disaster of war. Zhang Zuolin is powerless to defeat Guo Songling.Therefore, some of them have already secretly contacted Guo Jun to find a way out; some felt that they could not contact Guo, and they were ready for other plans.How the big picture ends, who is still interested? After Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, Yang Yuting just waved his hand and drove everyone away. "Marshal, wait for me to think about it, I don't think we will be at the end of the mountain..." "Cough... Alas!" Zhang Zuolin shook his hand, and drove Yang Yuting away as well.In the spacious living room of the handsome mansion, only Zhang Zuolin was left alone, hanging his head under the dim light. On December 6, when Zhang Zuolin learned that Guo Jun had captured Jinzhou, he fainted on the bed! "Liuzi, little Liuzi, I told you you're fucking suffering, suffering!" "Marshal," Yang Yuting appeared in front of him again. "It's time to make final preparations." "Are you forcing me too?" Zhang Zuolin was furious. "How do you want me to prepare?" "There must be a way." Yang Yuting became calm instead. "I'm leaving the field. Send a telegram immediately!" Zhang Zuolin said, "Go and organize representatives of various legal organizations to welcome Guo Jun into the city!" "Marshal, if that's the case, I won't come to you." "Is there any other way?" "Then it's time to burn the boat!" "Tell me." Yang Yuting leaned into Zhang Zuolin's ear and explained his new plan.Zhang Zuolin was stunned. "This... I'll have to think about it. Maybe I'll be a fucking traitor." "Marshal, the Japanese have always respected you, they will not watch you go down like this, they will try their best to help you." "What conditions?" "To this day, what conditions are you still talking about!" Yang Yuting said, "Besides, you didn't initiate such a thing. The 21 conditions were signed by Yuan Shikai. He, Yuan Shikai, is going to scold you. Besides..." Zhang Zuolin shook his hand. "Wait a minute, let me think--" Yang Yuting wanted Zhang Zuolin to accept the part of the "Twenty-One Conditions" concerning Northeast China (Manchuria), which had been pending for a long time and could not be implemented, as a condition for asking Japan for help, and asked Japan to send troops to protect Zhang Zuolin.Zhang Zuolin thought about it, but couldn't make a decision.It turned out that when the National People's Congress opposed the signing of the "21 Conditions", Zhang Zuolin expressed his attitude to the whole country. He could not accept the "21 Conditions" and was not allowed to implement any of them in the Northeast.Now, almost before the ink is dry, he, Zhang Zuolin, offered to sell the Northeast in exchange for his own status. He knew that the crime was serious.So he hesitated.However, after all, Zhang Zuolin is greedy for profit and regards power as his life! Now, the situation has forced him to nowhere, and he has no choice but to go out, so he thought: "The Northeast is preserved, and the Japanese have nothing to do with it. How good is it for me, Zhang Zuolin ?It’s better to rely on external forces to keep your position than to leave in a desperate state. No matter how powerful the Japanese are in the Northeast, the Northeast must belong to me Zhang Zuolin! To divide the world equally, I have to have half, which is better than nothing.” "Lin Pavilion," Zhang Zuolin said with a sigh, "you go and do it. I want the Japanese to give me a way to go. As long as my Northeast is still an independent Northeast, I can give them some specific benefits. If their hearts are too Ruthless, let me be a puppet, I would rather be defeated by Guo Songling!" When Yang Yuting saw that Zhang Zuolin had changed his mind, he also felt that he had seen the sun again.He hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Commander, I will fight for better. If there is any problem in the future, it will be borne by Linge alone." The Northeast is still covered with snow and clouds.A fierce battle is going on in the Liaoxi Plain. Guo Songling's troops are victorious and striding forward; Zhang Xueliang's rebellion and Fengjun are battered and defeated like an ebb tide! Suddenly, everything changes impermanently: The Japanese government issued an intervention warning to Guo Songling, ordering him to stop fighting immediately and not to advance; the Japanese army and garrison stationed in the northeast were urgently mobilized, and most of them were concentrated in Fengtian City and nearby areas... Zhang Zuolin became energetic, and he immediately reorganized the rebellion army, announcing that he would be the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army. The former right-wing commander of the enemy assembled 70,000 to 80,000 troops, sent all the garrison troops in the provincial capital to the front line, and established a defense line for the Juliuhe position! Although Zhang Zuolin mustered up his fighting spirit again, the Feng army was retreating steadily after all. On December 18, Guo Jun captured Baiqibao; on the 20th, he captured Xinmin, an important strategic location on the west bank of the Liaohe River.The Feng army could not stand still, and retreated to the east of the Liaohe River one after another.However, at this time, the Liaohe River had already been frozen for three feet, and even armored vehicles could pass through. The Liaohe River was no longer in danger! When Zhang Zuolin heard that the Liaohe River had fallen, he fell into panic again. The Marshal's Mansion was dead, and Zhang Zuolin closed the doors and windows of the secret room again, rethinking his "powering down the field". At this time, a tall, slender man in a long robe and jacket came to the Shuai's mansion.People saw that it was Zhang Dashuai's old friend, Bao Wenming, a famous divination master in Fengtian City, known as Bao Xiazi.Blind Bao is actually not blind, his eyes are open.Because people are used to calling the heave-maker a blind man.Therefore, he also got this "good name".Blind Bao often came to the Shuai's mansion. The marriage between the young commander Zhang Xueliang and Yu Fengzhi was his "fate". Everyone in the Shuai's mansion knew him, so no one stopped him. When Zhang Zuolin saw Bao Xiazi coming, he hurriedly said, "Didn't you go to Harbin, why did you come back?" "I came back specially to divination for the commander in chief." "Ah?" Zhang Zuolin was surprised.Busy said again: "The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and there is no hexagram to divination." "I've reached this point in Harbin." Blind Bao said ambiguously, "I was afraid that the commander-in-chief would be overwhelmed, so I hurried back." "I have a connecting flight?" "Yes, yes! Why not?" Blind Bao said, "I've made a decision, the future of the commander is great, so it doesn't matter!" "It's all right?" Bao Xiazi took out a yellow cloth bag and said, "Marshal, please draw a post, and I will make another divination for you." Zhang Zuolin sighed, rubbed his hands again, put his hand to his lips and blew, then took out a stick from the bundle, and handed it to Blind Bao.The blind man saw it and smiled. "Marshal, I said you have a great future, and you are right. Look at this post..." "Good luck?" "Good luck!" As he said, he read the words on the post to Zhang Zuolin: The dark clouds cover the moon for a long time, and the peach blossoms and willows are green and beautiful.Guan Gong killed six generals in five passes, who is the Overlord of Chu in Wujiang River? These were some ambiguous words at first, but Blind Bao said: "Marshal, the dark clouds will not be long, and you will be pink and willow green in a blink of an eye! Guizi Guo thinks you are the king of Wujiang River! What about Xiang Yu, but maybe he will die without a place to bury him!" Zhang Zuolin's dejected mood received a dose of strong stimulation. "Okay, if it comes to the day when I am pink and willow green, I will definitely invite Mr. Bao to sit down!"--Later, due to the participation of the Japanese in the war, Zhang Zuolin really turned the tables.The clever journalist found out that Bao Xiazi was very interested in divination for Zhang Zuolin when he was in trouble, so he published the article "Divination History in the Battle" in the "Shengjing Times", boasting that Bao Xiazi was a "god".This is a matter of funeral, so let's mention it. After Guo Songling occupied Xinmin, due to the situation, he had to make a quick decision. On the night of the 21st, Guo immediately issued a general attack order to launch a full-line attack on the Fengjun position on the east bank of the Juliu River.Fengjun's position was quickly broken through; at dawn the next day, Jiyun's Fourth Army, an elite unit of Guo Jun, launched a fierce attack on Damintun Heilongjiang Army with lightning speed, and occupied Damintun in the morning.However, the situation has changed dramatically... Just when Guo Jun entered and occupied Jinzhou, the Japanese Kwantung Army sent General Urata to Qinhuangdao by motorboat from Lushun to meet with Guo’s Fifth Army Commander Wei Yisan and present an ultimatum to Guo Jun: The two armies of the State and the Bong are not allowed to conduct military operations on both sides of the South Manchuria Railway and within 20 kilomedas at both ends, and those who violate it will be disarmed. A few days later, the Japanese Kwantung Army sent a supplementary ultimatum, changing the original "twenty kiromedas" to ten kiramidas.In fact, the Japanese army only restricted the actions of Guo Songling's army, while Zhang Zuolin's army was not only not restricted, but also provided convenience as much as possible. Guo Jun Liu Wei sent a brigade to Yingkou to destroy the Bao Yingcai Battalion of the Feng Army stationed there.The Japanese consul stationed in Yingkou immediately intervened.While reading out the Kwantung Army's ultimatum, the consul said, "Don't think that there is only Bao Yingcai's battalion here. Our Japanese army has two divisions in South Manchuria and two divisions in North Korea. They can arrive at any time." What angered Guo Songling the most was that he was still negotiating with the Japanese army in Goubangzi, Urata Dazuo.As soon as he opened his mouth, Urata said in a bullying manner: "General Guo, I think you have seen the ultimatum from the empire. What do you think?" "The Chinese don't need any outsiders to point fingers when they fight on Chinese territory." Guo Songling is also confident. "The crusade against Zhang Zuolin is to reform internal affairs and revive the Northeast. This is entirely a matter for the Chinese and has nothing to do with your country." Urata smiled coldly with an aggressive face. "The general should know about the relationship between the Empire and Manchuria. If the Kwantung Army is not willing, you will not be able to defeat Zhang Zuolin." "So, the Kwantung Army is going to interfere in China's internal affairs?" "General, please don't misunderstand." Urata said; "If the general is willing to get along with us, we are naturally willing to help the general. However, there are conditions." Guo Songling already understood that the reason why the Japanese helped Zhang Zuolin was because Zhang Zuolin agreed to their "conditions".He said: "Tell me about the conditions you think about me." Urata took out the manuscript he had prepared from his pocket and read: "One, recognize all the conditions Zhang Zuolin signed with Japan in Manchuria; two, protect the empire in Manchuria." All interests of Manchuria; three, redification propaganda and anti-Japanese activities are not allowed in Manchuria; four, designate Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Haicheng, and Gaiping as Japanese leased land..." Guo Songling smiled. "Mr. Dazuo, don't you think it's ridiculous? What responsibility do I have to protect and recognize the treaty signed by Zhang Zuolin? Why should I protect your interests in Manchuria? As for the relationship between the redness of the Chinese and Japan? Even if an inch of land in the city is in my hands, I will not allow anyone to touch it!" He stood up and said, "Mr. Dazuo, I am going to fight. If there is anything to do, I will pass the battle after I finish the battle." Let's negotiate diplomatically." Urata left, and Japan dispatched troops to stop Guo Jun from advancing on the South Manchurian Line. On the night of the 22nd, Feng Jun received information from Japan that Guo Jun's two wings were empty, so Zhang Zuoxiang led his troops to attack from the right wing, occupied Gaotaizi and other places, and outflanked Guo Jun from the rear.According to the information obtained by aircraft reconnaissance, Wu Junsheng led two divisions out from the left flank, burned the grain and ammunition that Guo Jun had parked in Baiqibao and Liuhegou, and cut off Guo Jun's rear; Zhang Xueliang launched a general attack from the front, and Guo Jun was immediately caught on three sides. Surrounded. Food and ammunition were in short supply, casualties were heavy, and the morale of Guo Jun was slumped. Gradually, some people deserted and some turned to Fengjun.There are only more than 10,000 people left in the isolated army, and they are cut off from the outside world.Guo Songling was not reconciled to failure. He organized several times to break through, stood on the front line, and fought hand-to-hand with the Feng army. In the end, he was outnumbered and unable to fight again. Guo Songling led a small number of confidential personnel and guards, and withdrew the headquarters to an unnamed deserted village on the bank of the Liao River. After he settled down, he calmed down, and Fang felt that there was no place for him to stand in the northeast.He decided to go south alone, contact the anti-Bong forces, and make a comeback. After midnight, Guo Songling and his wife took two reliable entourages, disguised as refugees, and sneaked out of the deserted village in a cart of a crop yard through the snow.At this time, heavy snow is falling, the north wind is howling, the wilderness is vast, and there are no birds.Guo Songling wrapped himself in a torn quilt, Han Shuxiu leaned beside him, and walked south with the slowly rolling cart... After dawn, Wu Junsheng's cavalry search team found that Guo Songling and his wife had fled, so they sent people to follow them.Finally, the Guo couple was captured in a vegetable kiln in Laodafang Village, Liaozhong County.It was only one month since Guo Songling's Luanzhou Uprising.It was Wang Yongqing, the brigade commander who was born with a red beard, who arrested the Guo couple.Wang nailed the Guo couple's hands to the shaft of the chariot and said they were escorting them back to Fengtian. On the way, they were killed by men sent by Yang Yuting.Guo Songling was forty-two years old at the time, and his wife Han Shuxiu was thirty-five years old. The corpses of Guo Songling and his wife were transported to Fengtian. Zhang Zuolin went to the corpses to see if they were real or not. Then he said with a ferocious smile, "Send these two corpses to the small riverside and put them on display for a few days. Let everyone see who dares to oppose me." Zhang Zuolin, this is the fate!" Guo Songling and his wife died for three days on a blue brick and stone along the Xiaohe River, and they were only given a broken mat to cover their faces afterwards.Fortunately, Dr. Zhang, Guo's former confidant, came forward and bought a white coffin to bury the Guo couple hastily on the barren slope.
