Chapter 235: Five Tigers

After receiving Zhang Jingye's telegram, the commander of the five tigers all arrived at the presidential palace in less than two days, and the strange thing is that they did not see the president, only the president's wife, Hua, and Zhang Jingzu, the commander-in-chief of the Zhilu coalition army.

Among the five tiger commanders, Yang Zhenting, the commander of the Central Plains Protector/Army, was the oldest and the most qualified, and when Zhang Jingye was called into Beijing by telegram, he secretly wondered if something was wrong. ”

The commander of the five tigers all followed Zhang Zuoling to fight the world, and they were born and died, and Hua did not hide it from them, so he said: "It is true that the president has an accident, and you must have heard about the Changchun railway explosion a few days ago, but unfortunately, Mr. President's special train was also blown up in that explosion." Inevitably, the people are in a state that has withheld the news, and it is I who will summon you to Beijing and appoint a new president. ”

Another new president?

Sure enough, the five tiger commanders all looked shocked, if it wasn't for Hua himself to say it, they would not have known that Zhang Zuoling had been killed, which shows the strict blockade of news in the old Beijing, and also shows the power of the Li family. It's just that when the president is newly mourned, he is in a hurry to establish a new lord, which is always a little inappropriate.

Moreover, Hua's thoughts today are easy to figure out, she didn't bring others, only Zhang Jingzu, just to want these elders to support Zhang Jingzu to "succeed to the throne" and become president. However, the commanders of the Five Tigers have all grown up watching Zhang Jingzu since childhood, and it is not an exaggeration for Zhang Jingzu to call them uncles, and it is gratifying that the little man has grown to the current commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, but if they want to obey him immediately, Zhang Jingzu will inevitably not be able to reach that heat.

Among the five tiger commanders, not to mention others, Tang Yucheng, the commander of the Anguo/Army, was the first to express his dissatisfaction and said: "My eldest brother's body has not been placed yet, how can I talk about establishing a new president?" Why don't we wait for our brothers to go and bring back the bones of the eldest brother and bury him before we discuss anything else. "His Anguo/army has always been in the northwest, the people in the northwest are fierce, and his army is also extremely strong, and the army is good at raising horses, and he holds a strong brigade in his hand is the cavalry battalion, and the people often call his army the division of tigers and wolves.

Tang Yucheng was born as a mountain bandit in the northwest in the past, and was later recruited by Zhang Zuoling, followed Zhang Zuoling to the south and north to fight a lot of victories, and saved Zhang Zuoling once in danger, so he often used this as capital, and asked Zhang Zuoling for property, food, and salary to domesticate private soldiers. Zhang Zuoling also had no way to deal with him, but the two of them still had brotherhood, and Tang Yucheng would not embarrass him too much. Now that Zhang Zuoling is dead, it will not be so easy for the Zhang family to tame this lion.

Hua Shi knew that he was difficult to deal with, and he didn't fight him hard at this juncture, but just asked Yang Zhenting, the commander of the protector of the country, "What is Brother Yang's opinion?" ”

Yang Zhenting is loyal and loyal, Zhang Zuoling was only loyal to Zhang Zuoling before his death, and now that Zhang Zuoling is gone, he is naturally willing to consider the Zhang family, so he said: "Madame's words are not all unreasonable, the current national hatred and family hatred are imminent, the eldest son has grown up with the president since he was a child, won the president's teachings, and led the army for many years, elected as the new president, I have no complaints." ”

Since he spoke, the commanders of the three armies of Qiangguo, Baoguo, and Dingguo were also busy and said: "We are also willing to follow the eldest prince and avenge the president." ”

The four commanders of the five tigers agreed, and the rest of Tang Yucheng was not good at singing, so he had to hum twice and agree for the time being.

Fahrenheit was relieved and ordered someone to take them to rest first, and then discuss the new president's accession to the throne tomorrow.

The commander of the five tigers went out, and Tang Yucheng shouted first: "The hairy boy also wants to teach Lao Tzu to fight, and when Lao Tzu used a gun to block the enemy's eyes, he didn't know which kang to pee." Old man Yang, you are stupid! ”

Yang Zhenting smiled bitterly: "Yucheng, you know in your heart how the president treats us, if you don't give it to his son, do you want to give it to me?" ”

"You ......" Tang Yucheng choked, even if he really thought so in his heart, he didn't dare to say it in front of the other four tigers, so he had to say, "Who said that I was going to be the president?" The Zhang family is not without anyone except the eldest prince, it is not that I gossip about the eldest prince behind my back, he has no such talent in leading the troops, and he is careful, I am afraid that after we support him to take the throne, the rabbit and the dog will be our fate in the future. ”

"He may not be like that, now that the Li family is powerful, if he wants to sit firmly, he has to rely on a few of us old people."

Wang Liyun, the general of Dingguo, was a little disapproving: "At that time, we will not be cooked by rabbits and dead dogs, but by the five auxiliary ministers." ”

"Oh, what you think is beautiful!"

Tang Yucheng sneered, but asked Guo Qizhi, the general of the Baoguo: "Why doesn't Second Brother Guo speak, are you also like Old Man Yang, and you want to bow down to that Zhang Jingzu?" ”

Guo Qizhi nodded, and suddenly shook his head: "No, I'm not a minister to him, I'm just a minister to the Zhang family." Tang Yucheng has relied on his friendship with the president in recent years, and he has never put his identity right, but he is different, he has lived in the southeast for several years, and he has long seen the situation clearly.

Just looking at today's situation, if it weren't for the benevolence and righteousness of the Li family, they would be willing to inform the Zhang family of the news of President Zhang's death first, otherwise with the ability of the Li family, they would have changed the surname of the old Beijing president without realizing it, where could they go to Beijing to discuss who would be the president?

Therefore, since the Li family has asked Hua to say that he wants to elect another president from the Zhang family, it shows that their Li family is still facing the Zhang family, and if a few of them dare to come nonsense without permission, I am afraid that it will be easy to come in and difficult to get out.

However, as Tang Yucheng said, the Zhang family is not only Zhang Jingzu's son, but also Zhang Jingye, Zhang Jingcheng and Zhang Jingtong. Especially Zhang Jingtong, that kid has a bit of his old man's majesty, and if he wants to come in a few years, he will be much better than his eldest brother.

Strictly speaking, the soldiers led by Guo Qizhi are not the Zhang family's personal soldiers, they were originally subdued by Zhang Zuoling on the way to the battle, and they are naturally not as loyal to the Zhang family as Yang Zhenting, and more often they are still thinking about their subordinates, it is impossible to overthrow the Zhang family and set up their own door, but what if the Zhang family itself splits from the inside? Or, a Zhang Jingtong who has no soldiers and no power is much easier to deal with than a Zhang Jingzu with heavy troops, if he really wants to establish a president, he hopes it is Zhang Jingtong.

For a while, the five tigers had their own ideas and decisions, and after saying goodbye to each other, they went back to their rooms to rest.

It's another day of turmoil, Zhang Jingzu's Zhilu coalition army is already on the way to Jiujing, he is not a fool, the temper of the five elders is somewhat known, and he understands that his road to succession will not be easy and smooth, and he must be fully prepared in private. Fortunately, there is still a Li family in the old capital, and the old department of the Li family is all real soldiers, none of them are an expanded army, as long as Li Chengxu is still willing to stand on the side of the Zhang family, then his chances of victory will be one step higher.

Thinking of this, Zhang Jingzu couldn't help but call someone in and said, "Eldest Lady, has there been news recently?" (To be continued.) )
