Chapter 28 Chapter Twenty Seven

Generalissimo of the Army and Navy of the Republic of China After Zhang Zuolin took a breather, the situation in the Northeast gradually stabilized, so he decided to pack up the remnants of the army and enter the customs to fight again - he wanted to avenge Feng Yuxiang for taking his territory. In March 1926, in the name of crusade against the remnants of the Guo army, Zhang Zuolin led an army of 80,000 into the pass, conquered Jiumenkou and Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop, and occupied Luanzhou and Tangshan.The troops of Zhang Zongchang and Li Jinglin launched a flanking attack, occupied Machang, and approached Tianjin.At this moment, Wu Peifu sent troops to attack Henan, successively occupied Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, and took Shijiazhuang directly.

Feng Yuxiang's national army retreated steadily and fell into the siege of the two armies of Fengzhi and Zhizhi.Feng Yuxiang saw that the general situation was over and he had no more combat power, so he acted accordingly, turned his own national army into the Northwest Army, led by Zhang Zhijiang, and withdrew all the troops on the Jinpujingfeng Line to Nankou to the Datong Line, and soon went to the Northwest withdraw. Feng Yuxiang no longer set foot in the Central Plains. Feng Yuxiang was defeated and went to the northwest, Zhang Zuolin occupied Beijing and Tianjin, and his former enemy commander Zhang Zongchang led an army into Beijing.Duan Qirui, who was in power, saw that Feng Zhang was prosperous again, and the big gangster Zhang Zongchang entered Beijing, so he immediately gave the big bandit a smile, and immediately appointed Zhang Zongchang as Yiwei General.Zhang Zongchang was so proud! He moved all the tyranny in Shandong to Beijing, appointed tax officials at all levels to plunder the public, forced businesses and residents to use worthless coupons and Shandong military tickets, closed the office of the Progressive Newspaper, and killed the editor of the Progressive Newspaper. .....The city of Beijing was hit by flying disasters, and the sky was dark! Even the "Suncheon Times" run by the Japanese was surprised and said: "After the atrocities committed by the Zhilu coalition forces, Zhang Zongchang immediately called Zhang Zuolin and Wu Peifu after they settled down in Beijing." The two commanders went to Beijing to discuss state affairs.

Zhang Zuolin first came to Beijing. In order to welcome this bandit commander-in-chief, the whole city of Beijing was under siege: from Qianmen Station to the commander-in-chief's Xingyuan Shuncheng Palace, the entire line was under martial law, the guard posts were like a forest, and there were no pedestrians.At Qianmen Station, Zhang Zuolin got off the armored car, walked up to Zhang Zongchang in a hurry, held Zhang Zongchang with both hands, and said repeatedly: "Xiaokun, you are doing well! You are really all-rounder in civil and military affairs! Good, good. Really beautiful job!" "

Zhang Zongchang grinned his mouth wide, hahahad twice, and then said: "Master, you praise me, what new tricks do I have? It's not about salvaging, searching and collecting. I don't think it's really useful!" Duan Qirui, who was in Beijing, was kicked out by Feng Yuxiang, but there was no telegram or paperwork for his resignation.Now, Feng Yuxiang is gone, Zhang Zuolin is here, Duan Qirui does not forget how he was promoted to power, and loves the ruling yamen.So, hurriedly held a feast to welcome Zhang Zuolin in the Grand Flower Hall of the Executive Government.The Dahua Hall, which had been deserted for several months, was full of high-ranking civil and military officials, feasting and feasting.Duan Qirui's eyes, which had been languishing for a long time, opened wide again. He raised his glass and said energetically, "First of all, let's cheer for Zhang Yushuai and Feng Shengli!"

The wine glass was raised high, and sweet words were everywhere.Zhang Zuolin opened his mouth wide and said, "Thank you for being in power, thank you everyone!" Duan Qirui took another glass of wine and walked up to Zhang Zuolin, and said with a smile on his face, "Yuting's entry into the customs this time has a great reputation! The Beijing government has everything to do, and we need Yuting's help." Zhang Zuolin heard this He said, the boss in his heart was unhappy: "Why did I enter the customs? I entered Beijing! Don't you know what I came to Beijing for? I should decide whether the Beijing government wants to do it or not. Why should I Help you with all your strength? Do you still want to hang on?" So he just said "I dare not take it" lightly, then turned his face away, and said to the crowd on the left and right: "At present, the war is suspended and the situation is not stable. I have just entered Beijing and Tianjin, and I am about to start everything. Naturally, I would like to ask for your help. Yuting is here to express my thanks first. Cheers!" The people responded in unison: "I will do my best!"

Duan Qirui was flustered immediately: "Zhang Zuolin has come to Beijing to grab power. It's not that he helps me govern, but that he wants people to help him a lot. It seems that I can't sit still in power." After Wu Peifu was in Beijing, he was more "radical" than Zhang Zuolin. He immediately sent an accompanying army to closely monitor Duan Qirui-he had a grudge against the old Duan, and before he entered Beijing, he found out that the old Duan had Lian Zhang's intention to reject him, so he Not soft.While monitoring the section, a group of party members of the Anhui faction were arrested.

Duan Qirui knew that he was at the end of the road, so he had to step down in embarrassment and hide in Tianjin. He gave himself the nickname of "Righteous Layman", and ended his political career from then on. After Duan Qirui left, Zhang and Wu fought openly and secretly for power.After all, it was not the time for Wu Peifu to "conquer Zhongzhou with wind and rain from all directions", so he had no choice but to back down, and Yan Huiqing came out to form a temporary cabinet, temporarily guarding the executive government, and the throne of the presidency hung first. The 41-year-old Sun Chuanfang became the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces of the Five Provinces. He was proud of his spring breeze and his ambition was high. He used Nanjing as his base camp and worked hard to make preparations for "creating a great cause".

Just when Sun Chuanfang was in full swing to strengthen himself, Wu Peifu sent him a telegram for help from Wuhan, saying that Chiang Kai-shek's troops were divided into three northern expeditions, and the three armies attacked the two lakes, and Wuhan was in a tight spot.Sun Chuanfang took the telegram and weighed it up: Sending troops to aid Wu, there are soldiers to send, and it is still possible to transfer three or five divisions from Jiangxi and Anhui to Wuhan.However, the relationship between Sun and Wu has always been a dream of the same bed (same direct lineage). Sun also asked Wu for help, but Wu ignored it.Now, he thinks: "Send reinforcements to save Wuhan. If you lose, you will suffer heavy losses. If you win, you will only gain fame. It is absolutely impossible to separate power from Wu Peifu. If you send troops like this, it is better to wait for the revolutionary army to occupy Wuhan, and then send a large army to regain it." At that time, Wuhan will naturally be mine, and I can change from five provinces to seven provinces." Thinking of this, Sun Chuanfang kept silent and never sent a telegram of support to Wu Peifu.

Sun Chuanfang's wishful thinking did not come true. He only knew that Chiang Kai-shek's First Route Army attacked Wuhan, but he ignored that Chiang Kai-shek's Second Route Army was targeting Sun Chuanfang.Chiang Kai-shek marched into Wuhan with the second and sixth armies, and ordered the first army to attack Jiangxi.Xie Hongxun, the division commander of Jiangxi Governor Deng Ruzhuo, died in battle, and Nanchang fell; Lu Xiangting, Zhejiang, saw that Jiangxi was over, and his soldiers did not dare to fight, and fled every day.Sun Chuanfang lost two of the five provinces in a blink of an eye; and hearing that Fujian was also in danger, Sun Chuanfang panicked.He hurried back to Nanjing from the Jiangxi front line, and after sitting panting, he realized that "I can't beat the revolutionary army!" He wanted to contact Duan and Wu again to form a "triangular alliance".However, both of these two families are in a precarious situation, and they both feel that Sun Chuanfang is capricious and too selfish, so they just socialize with him and let it go.

The "triangular alliance" came to naught, and Chiang Kai-shek's army was in a hurry. Sun Chuanfang had no choice but to turn his attention to Fengzhang.So he called Yang Wenkai in front of him and said to him, "As my representative, go to Shandong to meet Zhang Xiaokun, try to say something nice, and ask him to refer to Yushuai, I want to visit him." Yang Wenkai knew that Sun Chuanfang was going to serve him.This was a bitter and embarrassing errand, so I had to say: "I'll give it a try, I'm afraid Zhang Zuolin is narrow-minded and things won't work."

"Just make amends to him on my behalf!" Sun Chuanfang said, "Besides, we have helped him before." When Yang Wenkai went to Shandong, he met Zhang Zongchang, the supervisor, and explained his intentions; Zhang Zongchang did not dare to make decisions, so he reported Zhang Zuolin in time.At this time Zhang Zuolin was dreaming of being a president and wanted to control the world, so he naturally wanted to make everyone his subjects.He is willing to meet Sun Chuanfang.So, Sun Chuanfang braved the severe cold and went north to Tianjin. On that day, a heavy snow had just fallen in Tianjin, the ground was covered with snow, and the air was very cold.Sun Chuanfang was dressed in a fur robe, a felt hat, and a long scarf around her neck, walking uneasy towards Zhang Zuolin's residence in Cai's garden.His heart was so heavy, he repeatedly told himself "be calm and be patient." But when he got out of the car, he became flustered again, and all the unpleasant things in the past came to his mind: fighting and fighting, attacking and retreating.When he thought of Bengbu killing Shi Congbin, he suddenly stopped and dared not go any further. "Shi Congbin is Zhang Zuolin's outstanding teacher! He has fought for many years and made many military exploits, so he is worthy of being called a hero. He cares about this matter, so it's troublesome." He wanted to go back and never see Zhang Zuolin again.However, it was too late, Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Zongchang had already greeted him.Sun Chuanfang had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward.The two smiled and shook hands to welcome.Then Sun Chuanfang was led into the courtyard. Fifty-three-year-old Zhang Zuolin stood imposingly outside the living room door to welcome Sun Chuanfang.Sun Chuanfang came to him, bowed deeply, then lowered his head, and said, "I-I'm sorry, Marshal." Zhang Zuolin first laughed heartily "hahaha", and then stretched out his hands to hold Sun Chuanfang.Said: "Xinyuan, you have worked hard. Don't mention the past. Today you are here, and everything starts from scratch." Saying that, she entered the room arm in arm. The two sat down facing each other, and the rest of them also took their seats. Someone offered tea.After exchanging pleasantries, Zhang Zuolin said straight to the point: "Xin Yuan, how many people are there in your coalition army?" "There are 50,000 troops directly under it." Sun Chuanfang said: "The five provinces are united, and there are a total of more than 200,000 people." Zhang Zuolin smiled lightly and thought to himself, "Where do you, Sun Chuanfang, still have five provinces? There are not more than 200,000 people. If you do, you won't come here." He was quite rich and powerful, and said: "We are from the three northeastern provinces. There are more than 800,000 troops, and together with the Zhilu coalition forces, there are no fewer than one million divisions." "Commander," Sun Chuanfang said: "The Fujian-Jiangxi battle came too suddenly, and my equipment losses were relatively heavy. Do you..." "I see." Zhang Zuolin waved his hand. "I'll try my best to supplement it for you. You can discuss this matter with Liang." Sun Chuanfang stood up and bowed deeply again. "thanks, thanks!" Zhang Zuolin waved him to sit down, and said, "Xin Yuan, my army is going to be changed to the Anguo Army now. I am the commander-in-chief of the Anguo Army. You and Xiao Kun should be the deputy commanders. The Lunar New Year is approaching, and you Don't celebrate the New Year in Tianjin, hurry back to Nanjing to rectify the team, and prepare to counterattack." Sun Chuanfang immediately said: "Yes!" Sun Chuanfang, who was known as an anti-confucian, became Zhang Zuolin's eagle dog in an instant.Just when Zhang Zuolin was feasting on Sun Chuanfang with venison, bear paws, purple crab, and whitebait, the newsboys in the streets and alleys of Tianjin were shouting loudly: "Extra, extra!" It was a picture of Sun Chuanfang printed in large type. The news about the meeting with Zhang Zuolin, the red headline reads: Sun Chuanfang worships the mountain! This is the first time in Sun Chuanfang's life that his name has appeared in newspapers with the most eye-catching font size. The Guangdong Revolutionary Army made another northern expedition, and the two major forces in China, Sun Chuanfang and Wu Peifu, were powerless to resist.As soon as Zhang Zuolin saw the opportunity, he went out to fight in the name of "aiding Wu".His vanguard was in full swing, going all the way down, and after seizing the territory in Central China, they went south along Jinghan Road.Soon it occupied Baoding and Daming under the control of Wu Peifu.Zhang Zuolin was excited again. He immediately held a meeting of generals of the Fengjun and Zhilu armies in Tianjin, and invited Wu Peifu, Sun Chuanfang, and representatives of Fujian, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces to discuss how to unite against the Northern Expedition.At the meeting, it was decided to focus on the Feng army and unite the provinces and regions north and south of the Yangtze River to oppose the Northern Expedition. Sun Chuanfang has already attached himself, so he naturally looks at Zhang Zuolin's face and speaks.He said: "In joint operations, we can't have no leader. We have to choose a leader to lead us to do it." He said, and he turned his attention to Zhang Zongchang. Zhang Zongchang occupies Shandong, and has 140,000 troops under his command. Recently, he joined forces with Li Jinglin, governor of Zhili, to form the Zhili-Shandong Allied Army, which is second only to Zhang Zuolin in power.Seeing that Sun Chuanfang passed the words to him, he said loudly, "That's right! I saw it, and I asked Marshal Zhang to be the leader. Also, the Beijing government is not yet in charge, and it is not easy to fight a war. Let's cook in one pot, and let the commander-in-chief take the lead!" Zhang Zuolin was smiling all over his face, his eyes flickered slowly, he had hoped for decades, and finally it was time to realize it.However, he pretended to say: "Xiaokun's meaning is only Xiaokun's. I never want to be president or to be in power. At present, it is more important to unite the various factions in Beiyang and cooperate with Sun and Wu to fight against the revolutionary army." .As for the need for a leader after the union, this issue is indeed very serious. Please think about it carefully. I will definitely listen to your dirty words." Zhang Zuolin had something to say, but other people tacitly said it.Everyone talked nonsense for another day. In the end, 16 generals including Sun Chuanfang, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zongchang, Yan Xishan, Shang Zhen, Chen Gaoyuan, Zhang Zuoxiang, Chen Yi, and Chu Yupu jointly persuaded them to advance, and they used Zhi, Lu, Henan, Anhui, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi In the name of 15 provinces and regions, including China, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Cha, Re, Sui, Ji, and Hei, Zhang Zuolin was supported as the commander-in-chief of the "An Guojun" and commanded all ministries.Zhang Zuolin repeatedly "rejected" before he readily accepted. On December 1, Zhang Zuolin was in Tianjin wearing a large dress, bowed down to worship the heavens, and took office as the commander-in-chief of the Anguo Army in the grand ceremony of the emperor's ascension to the throne.Then, a long manifesto was issued, and Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zongchang, and Yan Xishan were appointed as deputy commanders, and Yang Yuting was appointed as the general counselor.Soon, Zhang Zuolin imitated the act of "the emperor's fortune", and entered Beijing again under the ceremony of paving the ground with loess, and took control of the northern power. When Zhang Zuolin entered Beijing, he organized his Anguo Army into seven legions and appointed Sun Chuanfang, Zhang Zongchang, Zhang Xueliang, Han Linchun, Zhang Zuoxiang, Wu Junsheng, and Chu Yupu as the commanders of the first to seventh legions.In this way, I still felt that it was not enough, so I chose an auspicious day to announce my appointment as the Grand Marshal of the Army and Navy of the Republic of China at Huairen Hall in Beijing.Zhang Zuolin put on his homemade marshal uniform, took the manuscript, and swore an oath: Zuo Lintian was appointed as the Grand Marshal of the Republic of China Army and Navy. He vowed to consolidate the Republic, promote the rule of the people, reform the internal affairs, and establish a harmonious relationship between the two countries. I hereby swear. After taking the oath, the generals bowed to him three times.All the ceremonies were over, and everyone thought that there was nothing wrong, and it was time to have a banquet and play games.Unexpectedly, Zhang Zuolin took out another piece of paper from his pocket, stretched it out, and appointed the cabinet members in the name of Generalissimo: Pan Fu was the Prime Minister and Chief of Communications, Shen Ruilin was the Chief of Internal Affairs, Wang Yintai was the Chief of Foreign Affairs, and He Linfeng was the Chief of Military Affairs. The chief minister, Fan Zepu is the chief financial officer, Zhang Jinghui is the chief minister of industry, Liu Shangqing is the chief minister of agriculture and industry, Yao Zhen is the chief justice, and Liu Zhe is the chief minister of education... People are stunned: "What is this? The generalissimo appointed Cabinet, there is no precedent in China?" There is no precedent to create! Zhang Zuolin created it.You have to admit it! After all the chores were finally done, Zhang Zuolin suddenly felt tired in his new residence in Zhongnanhai.My legs are sore, my waist hurts, and my shoulders seem to be carrying a heavy burden.He stretched himself, and then lay down on the "dragon bed", feeling relaxed all over. Zhang Zuolin hadn't slept so easily for a long time.As soon as I fell on the bed, I fell into a dream.He first dreamed that he was wearing a dragon robe and boarded the Golden Luan Hall; when he looked down, his head was hanging on the ground, and there was a resounding "Long Live" cheer! Suddenly, he found Bao Xiazi in the crowd.Blind Bao held a willow stick in his hand, and white paper was wrapped around the willow stick; he bowed every step, and gradually heard the sound of weeping.Zhang Zuolin got angry, jumped up, and cursed: "Bao Xiazi, what the hell are you doing? Cry for me! Before I came to Beijing, you insisted on telling my fortune, saying that I only had two years of good luck. Now, I have risen step by step and become the emperor! I am long live!" Blind Bao cried and said, "Marshal, you only have two years of good luck. It's a pity that you know it yourself, but you don't admit it when I tell you. Even in these two years, you still have to do bad things." "When I live to the third year, I will kill you first..." Zhang Zuolin woke up suddenly, he sat up, covered in cold sweat. --Before Zhang Zuolin entered the customs this time, Blind Bao told his fortune.After all the calculations, he said that he still had two years of good luck.Zhang Zuolin worships Bao Xiazi, and whenever he encounters a difficult matter, he will Bao Xiazi do the math for him.This time, Bao Xiazi came uninvited.Blind Bao said: "Marshal, if I remember correctly, you were born at Maoshi on the 12th day of the second lunar month in the first year of Guangxu. The heavenly stem is Geng, the earthly branch is Chen, and it is Gengchen. Therefore, the horoscope of the commander-in-chief is the year of Yihai, the month of Wuji, the day of Renwu, and the time of Gengchen." Blind Bao fiddled with his fingers for a while, and said: "The first year of Guangxu is the spring day. It is the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, and the four points are engraved on the first day of Dingyou. The Marshal has only two years of good luck." In the past, Zhang Zuolin was convinced that Bao Xiazi's hexagrams were true; today, he hopes that he is false.He cursed inwardly: "Just talking nonsense! No wonder people say that a blind man speaks endlessly, it's a bunch of nonsense." However, Bao Xiazi's hexagrams have all come true in the past.Therefore, Zhang Zuolin felt depressed.I dreamed about it again today, but I was worried again.He sat on the bed for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to relieve his boredom.I had no choice but to retreat into the hut and light up the big smoke lamp... After finishing the business in Beijing, Zhang Zongchang hurried back to Jinan - his base camp was in Jinan, and he could not leave there.In Jinan, his army has expanded to fourteen armies, and he has all the military and political power in one hand. He has become the local emperor of Shandong. The head has to be split; whoever he wants to "listen to the phone" (hang the head on the telephone pole) will have to be separated; the provincial council, which represents public opinion, is silent; Outstanding young people fled one after another; all newspapers not only could not say a word of justice, but those who did not praise Zhang Zongchang were immediately shut down; associations and assemblies were not allowed.Zhang Zongchang issued tens of millions of banknotes badly in Shandong, and the merchants and people suffered terribly.Zhang Zongchang also borrowed money from various banks from time to time, forcing most of the banks to close down.Zhang Zongchang is already known in Shandong as the warlord of the Three Ignorances: I don’t know how many troops there are, how much gold and silver are there, and how many concubines are there? There are many folk songs in Shandong urban and rural areas, saying: Zhang Zongchang, sitting in Shandong, and the people of Shandong were pitted.Not afraid of rain, not afraid of wind, but afraid of soldiers coming to sweep us away.Supervisor Zhang, sitting in Jinan, needs money and money.If the chicken pays the tax and the dog pays the donation, whoever refuses to accept it will gouge out his eyes. There are also green onions and garlic, which are cooked in the pot by Zhang Duban.There is also garlic and ginger, Zhang Zongchang cooked in the pot.When Zhang Zongchang returned to Jinan, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do for a while. Zhang Zuolin is now the generalissimo, and he is in charge of the country. Zhang Zongchang must be regarded as the second person in China: under one person, above ten thousand "I, Zhang Zongchang, finally have Today!" After eating and drinking, he lay in front of the smoke lamp for a long time, took a concubine to sleep for a while, and suddenly thought of writing poetry. "Hey, I have to write a few more poems to make up my poetry books." He listened to a literati's advice and came up with a copy of "Xiao Kun Poetry Notes", which already has quite a few poems.He was busy rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and finally found out the manuscript of the poem he had written.Take out one by one and read aloud as usual when you are happy.He took out one first, the title was "Laughing at Liu Bang", and he read it again: I heard that Xiang Yu was trying to pull up the mountain, and Liu Bang was so scared that he was about to run away. It wasn't my family, Zhang Liang, and grandma had already returned to Pei County. "Good poetry, good poetry!" he boasted.He took out another one, titled "I also write a big wind song", and read: Open the cannon and blast his mother! Vega and overseas come back home! Count the heroes and Zhang Zongchang! And the giant whale and swallow the hibiscus!” : Looking at Mount Tai from a distance, it is dark and dark, with thinner tops and thicker bottoms.If Mount Tai is turned upside down, the lower end will be thinner than the upper end will be thicker. "It's delicious! It's delicious!" Take another one.It's "Lightning in the Sky": Suddenly there was a chain of fire in the sky, as if the Jade Emperor was about to smoke. If the Jade Emperor didn't smoke, how could it be another chain of fire. "People say that Zhang Zongchang is as thick as a chimney, so I have to show it to everyone in the world. Mom, who can say that my poems are not good? He dares!" Zhang Zongchang is very confident.He believes that his poems are unmatched in the world! "Stop reading, write again." He held up the lamp, brought the four treasures of the study, and closed his eyes. However, Zhang Zongchang's literary thinking is extremely poor today. He has conceived several topics, but he can't always come up with good sentences.I came up with it, wrote it on paper and looked at it again, and I always felt that there was a lack of "magic pens" such as "Liu Bang was so scared that he was about to run away" and "It seemed that the Jade Emperor wanted to smoke".Half a pool of ink was wiped out, and a piece of waste paper was thrown under my feet, but there was still no article.He was angry: "Mom, where did the poems go? Marshal Zhang became the general of the army and navy, and I, Zhang Zongchang, became his deputy. There should be poems! Why can't they come out? Sanxiong, I don't write poems anymore, Think about something else." What else was he thinking about? After thinking for a long time, he suddenly thought of Feng Yuxiang, and Feng Yuxiang thought of someone—Zheng Jinsheng! Zheng Jinsheng, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Eighth Front Army of Feng Yuxiang's Department, was born in Licheng, Shandong.In the early days, Feng Yuxiang led the Second Army of the National Revolutionary Army to fight Zhang Zongchang's Zhilu Allied Forces in the Mamuji area of ​​​​Henan Province on the Longhai Line.At that time, Feng Fang's central defense was taken by Liu Zhenhua's Eighth Front Army.Liu Zhenhua was originally Feng Yuxiang's enemy. Later, he was defeated by the combined forces of Feng Yuxiang, Chang Hucheng, and Li Huchen during the siege of Xi'an. He had to surrender, and his subordinates did not completely return.When the battle between the two sides was stalemate, Jiang Mingyu, Liu Zhenhua's brigade commander, suddenly communicated with Zhang Zongchang in secret, turned against each other, and captured Zheng Jinsheng, a trusted general sent by Feng Yuxiang and deputy commander of the Eighth Front Army, and sent him to Jinan as a tribute to Zhang Zongchang. Welcome to the ceremony.Because Mr. Wang Hong, who had just returned from Zhang Zongchang's tribe, turned against Zhang Zongchang, Zhang Zongchang was defeated and returned, and more than 10,000 men were captured by Feng! Zhang Zongchang was angry and determined to kill Zheng Jinsheng to vent his anger.It's just that Tianjin and Beijing are in a hurry, and he hurried northward without time.Now that the matter in the north was over, he immediately remembered the unfinished matter. " "Come on!" he yelled. "Marshal." Someone came in in response. "Call me Zheng Jinsheng from the Eighth Front Army of the National Army." "yes!" Here comes Zheng Jinsheng.Still in general uniform, he stood in front of Zhang Zongchang with his chest held high.Zhang Zongchang stared at him for a long time, and then said: "Commander, you have been in Jinan for a few days, and in this situation, what do you think?" Zheng Jinsheng smiled faintly. "My eyes are not clear, and I misread the villain Jiang Mingyu!" "Did you tell your fortune? Do you know what will happen to you?" "I've heard that Zhang Zongchang is a big hooligan!" Zheng Jinsheng said, "I've made up my mind to die." "Should I kill you?" "It's a good thing that you can put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately." "You're thinking wrong again." Zhang Zongchang said: "If you put down the butcher's knife, it's not me, Zhang Zongchang. Put down the butcher's knife, who will pay for the thousands of soldiers who died on the battlefield?" "However, I will think that one day you will die under the butcher's knife!" "Hahaha!" Zhang Zongchang looked up and smiled. "I'm afraid the person who killed me is still in my mother's womb!" Zheng Jinsheng stopped talking. "Pull Zheng Jinsheng out and shoot him!" Zheng Jinsheng died. Zheng Jinsheng had no son, but adopted his nephew Zheng Jicheng as his son.Zhang Zongchang wanted to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and offered a reward for the arrest of Zheng Jicheng.The reward price is 30,000 yuan for capture alive and 10,000 yuan for killing.Zheng Jicheng had no choice but to leave his hometown, and later drifted to Japan and the United Kingdom.Zhang Zongchang returned home after the defeat.Zheng Jicheng's stepfather, Zheng Jinsheng, was friendly with Han Fuju during his lifetime, and both belonged to the Northwest Army.After Han Fuju became the governor of Shandong, he gave Zheng Jicheng the title of a provincial government councilor.Now that Zheng Jicheng has settled down, he thinks day and night to avenge his father.Five years later, on September 3, 1932, Zheng Jicheng finally killed Zhang Zongchang at Jinan Station.This is something. After killing Zheng Jinsheng, Zhang Zongchang felt relieved. He approached several staff officers and said, "Damn it, the Chihua Party wins every day. What's the reason for this? You all talk about it." Everyone knew that Zhang Zongchang killed people like mowing grass. They were afraid that they would lose their heads if they said something wrong, so they dared not speak up one by one. Zhang Zongchang was in a hurry, slapped the table, and cursed: "I scolded your ancestors, are you fucking dumb?" One of the staff officers tremblingly said: "Handsome, the revolutionary army won the battle not only by the army, but also by propaganda. The propaganda was very popular, and the soldiers sang the military song of overthrowing the great powers to fight, and their morale was high..... " "What are great powers?" "The great powers...the great powers are the most powerful countries in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!" "It seems that we are also the reincarnation of the great powers." Zhang Zongchang said: "We are not only the great powers, but also the Three Kingdoms. We have to rely on the gods of the Three Kingdoms to fight. You must quickly train the propaganda personnel and compose military songs. military song." With Zhang Zongchang's order, the literati in the army were busy, making up and writing propaganda materials and military songs.Zhang Zongchang said: "Read it. Read it to me." Those who have been trained, acted out and acted out according to the script, all talking about Zhang Zongchang's "wiseness" and "love for soldiers and people".Zhang Zongchang got angry when he heard it, and cursed: "You bastards are talking nonsense. Who doesn't know that I, Zhang Zongchang, played with women and scraped land, and caused the common people to suffer! You make me so good, who can tell me?" believe?" The propagandists were stunned, they were dumbfounded. "Listen," Zhang Zongchang ordered. "It should be said that Zhang Zongchang is a bastard bastard. He scraped the land and made the people suffer. However, he beat you with a wooden stick in his hand; the Chihua Party came, and they said nicely, beat you When you were fighting, you held iron rods in your hands. If you beat them down, it will be ten or a hundred times more painful than Zhang Zongchang's beating! You ordinary people will suffer less, and you have to help Marshal Zhang fight the Chihua Party!" Everyone was shocked. "Oh my god! How do you say this to the common people?" Zhang Zongchang listened to the edited military lyrics twice, felt that it was not good, and confessed to change it word by word, and then said: "Read it to me again from beginning to end." Someone read loudly: In the Three Kingdoms, Cao A concealed himself, went to the expedition in person, and led the army to the south of the Yangtze River, with 800,000 and 30,000 troops! The warrior of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Zilong is the first to be a hero, and Zhang Yide is a hero in front of Changbanpo! There is also Zhang Yide, who crossed the bridge back then, broke the bridge two or three times... "Okay, okay, that's it. We want this kind of military song!" Zhang Zongchang shook his head and drove everyone away. Zhang Zuolin became the Grand Marshal in charge of China's political affairs. He always felt that his name was not right, and he wanted to become the Grand President.He discussed this matter with Yang Yuting several times, but Yang Ziting was always silent.Zhang Zuolin was in a hurry, "Lin Pavilion, if it's okay, you have to talk!" Only then did Yang Yuting say: "Commander, you must be cautious about this matter! The enemy is currently at hand, and we are still not sure of defeating the Kuomintang militarily. If this causes internal divisions, it will be very detrimental to the commander. I think it is better to take it easy." "Well, it makes sense." Zhang Zuolin thought for a long time and said, "However, I'm always unconvinced. Why can't I do what Cao Kun and Duan Qirui can do?" "Don't worry, Commander." Yang Yuting comforted him. "After defeating the Northern Expeditionary Army, the whole world will belong to us. At that time, the commander-in-chief will preside over the Beijing government, and it will be justified and logical." Zhang Zuolin had to restrain himself temporarily.However, he couldn't wait for long, and in the spring of 1927 he ordered Feng's army to attack Feng Yuxiang's army in Baotou and Wuyuan, and ordered the Zhilu army to fight from Shandong and Henan to Jiangnan.It was very unsatisfactory. Wherever Zhang Jun went, he failed steadily, and his existing territory was gradually eroded by the National Army. Zhang Zuolin fell into a dilemma again.
