Chapter 123: Derby in the same city
What to do? Nationalized! As Zhang Hanqing said when he established the "Land Resources and Development Bureau" by his father:
"The land belongs to the state, and the mineral resources attached to the land belong to the state. I need to set up a department to take care of these people and things. The area of the mine can not be extended anymore in addition to the normal tax to be handed over to the finance---- the resources of the Northeast are too rich, sometimes one mine is connected to another mine, for a long time, I don't know how big my mine is, this is not a private small coal kiln in Shanxi in the future? With a department, demarcating its boundaries, you can stop the disorderly expansion of these people as much as possible, especially the Japanese!
The extra place is owned by the state, that is, controlled by this department, and the mines are to be opened? Yes, pay for it. The Fengtian provincial government will be able to control the entry of mine owners at any time, and will be able to better plan the economic layout. If iron is needed, iron ore mines will be opened cheaply, and the price of coal will be cheap, and the scale of entry will be controlled. ”
Zhang Hanqing's idea of unifying mining resources has won the affirmation and support of investors in Beijing, the upper echelons of the Fengjun army, and the main heads of the Fengtian provincial and municipal governments. Zhang Zuolin wants to set an example for investors and rarely does not invest in this mining investment, but he also sees the benefits of unified resources: holding businessmen in the palm of his hand, and in the long run, the regime will be more secure.
Who is in charge of this agency? A character flashed into Zhang Hanqing's mind: Mi Chunlin. This person has a deep relationship with him in history, and is known as the head of the "four major military quartermasters of the Feng Army" in the field of military logistics, and is very good at logistics management, and now follows Zhu Qinglan, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, as the director of the Guandu Gold Mining Bureau. In July, Zhu will be transferred to the post of governor of Guangdong Province, and Mi Chunlin will follow. When there is a real intersection with the Feng system in the official history, it will take another year after Zhu loses power. Time is running out, and now is the time to bring this talent under your command.
Lao Mi followed Zhu Qinglan just to find a career, not to mention how loyal he was, so it was much easier for him to change his course than Jiang Dengxuan. Zhu Qinglan was squeezed out by Xu Lanzhou, the commander of the powerful First Division in Heilongjiang, and his status was already worse than it was today, and then Lao Mi's life was not easy. Now, through the hand of the young marshal, Zhang Zuolin threw an olive branch to Mi Chunlin, if Mi Chunlin doesn't catch it, he really wants to follow Zhu Qinglan to live a wandering life. When Zhu Qinglan learned that Lao Zhang was an important person, he didn't say a word, but persuaded Mi Chunlin, Zhang Dashuai is also a rare master, why should he be angry with himself again?
It's not that Zhu Qinglan is open-minded, but Zhang Zuolin spoke through his ally Xu Lanzhou. To say that Xu Lanzhou and Zhang Zuolin can be regarded as iron buddies, the two use each other, one south and one north respond to each other, and they have always cooperated very well. Xu Lanzhou is the most powerful person in the Black Province, as soon as he speaks, even the governor of the Overseer Army has to weigh it, and then there is Zhang Zuolin's influence, if Zhu Qinglan wants to live a good life, he won't even give Lao Zhang face?
Therefore, as Zhang Hanqing wished, Mi Chunlin went south to Mukden and immediately took up the post of director of the "Land Resources and Development Bureau". From being depressed to being in power, Mi Chunlin is like in a dream. Later, he knew that his adventure was reached under the mediation of Zhang Hanqing, and later he was grateful to Zhang Hanqing for his kindness throughout his life.
Lao Zhang is like a fish in water outside of Fengtian, but he can't play a little in the province.
If you come out to mix, you will have to pay it back sooner or later, this sentence is quite effective on Zhang Zuolin.
After the expulsion, he took a big advantage in terms of money, status and arms, and in addition to the praise of public opinion. In contrast, Feng Delin, who lost cleanly, was like a thorn in his heart. Similarly, Yuan Shikai, who felt that he had lost control of Fengtian, had no thoughts in his heart?
However, when this thorn was actually pierced to Zhang Zuolin by Feng Delin, who was also an official in Fengtian, on behalf of himself, Yuan Shikai unintentionally relieved his hatred. Originally, the two of them were both pillars of Fengtian Province, one in the provincial capital and the other in Beizhen, and they did not belong to each other, and they were safe and sound for a few years.
However, a general's letter of appointment broke this state in an instant.
Because Feng Delin was fifty years old at the time, and Zhang Zuolin was forty-one years old. In front of Zhang, Feng always regarded himself as a senior in the green forest. Feng Delin is a talented person, far more "noble" than Zhang Zuolin; When he was in the green forest, he had thousands of people, which was not comparable to Zhang Zuolin's small fights; And after being recruited, his status was once above Zhang Zuolin. Zhang Zuolin made meritorious contributions to the conquest of Mongolian bandits, and under the promotion of Xu Shichang, he was able to be the commander of the patrol battalion with Feng Delin. Since then, the two have been of equal status, and their relationship "has to" be quite harmonious.
But Zhang Zuolin was appointed as the governor, but he annoyed the senior Feng Delin of the green forest. One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, Feng Delin can certainly sing black face in the double reed play, and let his good brother Zhang Zuolin sing white face, but later he knew that he was used by Zhang, this anger is not trivial, not to mention that this former green forest junior has turned into his own top boss, which is unbearable!
In Feng Delin's opinion, he had the greatest credit for driving out Duan Zhigui, but he made wedding clothes for others and let Zhang Zuolin sit back and enjoy his success, he couldn't swallow this breath, so he refused to accept the appointment of the post of military assistant.
As soon as Zhang Zuolin received this appointment, his wish was fulfilled, and of course he was happy. But is Feng Delin easy to match? If you can't get the cranes and mussels to fight each other, you will get into trouble and cause trouble. The father and son discussed privately for a long time, but Zhang Hanqing decided: "Father should solemnly resign from this position and work hard to telegraph the Central Committee to recommend Master Feng to take the position." Father and son looked at each other and smiled slyly.
The resignation is an expression of an open-minded attitude, not because I want this position, but because the central government is the main force. Not only do I not want to compete with Big Brother, but I also try my best to recommend it to the Central Committee, isn't that okay? At this point, even if you Feng Delin are not convinced, you can't complain about me.
So Zhang Zuolin called everyone to a meeting, cried bitterly, and scolded Duan Zhigui for using discordant tactics to provoke brotherly feelings. In front of Feng Delin, he asked people to send a telegram to Beiping, resolutely refusing to accept the appointment of the Beiping government, and also tried his best to promote Feng Delin as a general, saying that he was immoral and incompetent, and only Feng Delin could lead Yunyun in Fengtian. The Beiping government government did not allow the reply call, and Zhang Zuolin still did not approve his resignation, and he could not even take a step back and recommend the post of patrol envoy to Feng Delin.
Of course it won't be approved! How can the appointment of the military and political governor of a province be such a child's play, and the person who has been dismissed can still recommend it? If the Central Committee is really so easy to fool, Yuan Shikai will not be able to be the president.
In the end, Tang Yulin, the commander of the 53rd Brigade under Zhang Zuolin and his younger brother, said: "Big brother, you must resign, what should the Beijing government do if the government sends people from other provinces again?" I think it's better to talk about it first. Although Tang Yulin, who had been taken to the part-time position of the commander of the secret agent team, was dissatisfied, he still wisely chose the same front at the moment when Zhang Zuolin was rising. Zhang Zuolin was the superintendent, and with such a large territory as Fengtian, one division was not enough. Zhang Zuolin has already formed 10 new battalions, and in his capacity, it is a matter of minutes to expand another division. Tang Yulin fantasized that by actively getting closer, he would become a division commander in the future.
He is also Feng Delin's brother, and he came forward to speak, which is reasonable in public and private, and everyone agrees that Tang Yulin's opinion is correct.
Feng Delin looked at Zhang Zuolin's resignation in front of him, and he was expressing his feelings, reasoning and law were impeccable. He was checkmated to death on a big scene, and he couldn't say anything, and with the persuasion of everyone, he was really worried that if he continued to make trouble, and another general would be sent down from above, it would be more than worth the loss, and he had no choice but to "have to" do so.
was forced to express his dissatisfaction at the meeting, and the more Feng Delin thought about it after the meeting, the more dissatisfied he became: all the people in this venue were Zhang Zuolin's people, and it was natural to speak for him, no wonder he felt that he had been squeezed out. Therefore, he resolutely refused to take office, and even Zhang Zuolin refused to come forward at the banquet to celebrate his appointment, sweeping Lao Zhang's face.
Compared with the external powerlessness, Zhang Hanqing can already speak in Fengtian. Mi Chunlin and Mo Dehui are Zhang Hanqing's first fire in politics, no matter how the two behave after taking office, at least our future young marshal has made his voice heard for the first time in the political arena of Fengtian.
The reform proposed by the young marshal to Zhang Dashuai will, of course, touch the interests of many people, and will make the old army oilers, who have always been accustomed to running rampant, very dissatisfied, and the Fengtian military circles headed by Tang Yulin and others are the representatives. Fortunately, Zhang Hanqing adopted the policy of winning over a group and overthrowing a group, and personally visited Sun Liechen to get his support for the reform, so as to hold Tang Yulin hostage and elevate Yang Yuting to make him have an inactive attitude towards the reform, so that Zhang Zuolin's separation of military and police and military and political separation could be properly carried out.
Zhang Zuolin thought at first that this son was going to do a great job with the courage of blood, but how did he know that Zhang Hanqing was advancing steadily, and knew that by winning over Yang Yuting and Sun Liechen, Tang Yulin, the other owner of the horse, would gain a moral disadvantage, coupled with the banner of public opinion that was stirred, at least on the bright side, Tang Yulin could not object. Although Lao Zhang has not been in school for a few years, with years of experience in the green forest and officialdom, he understands the power of his son's united front. I am very pleased with Zhang Hanqing's methods.
Fengtian has a thorny Feng Delin so that Zhang Zuolin can not hold power, in Beijing, in the whirlpool of old Yuan also gradually felt that there is a tendency to lose power, this time his target is Duan Qirui.
The Hongxian monarchy was unpopular with the people, and Yuan Shikai was forced to announce his abdication and become president again. But the mutiny that had already been launched would not be stopped by this nominal change, and both Cai and the Kuomintang forces opposed it and demanded that Yuan step down. The front-line troops are sluggish, and the Beiyang Army urgently needs a capable man to control the situation. Under these circumstances, Yuan Shikai was forced to use Duan Qirui again, preparing to use his connections to turn the situation into a safe one.
However, Duan Qirui is no longer the old Duan when he was in charge of it, and the condition for him to serve as prime minister is that Xu Shuzheng, who was the vice minister of the army, is still the secretary general of the State Council. Lao Yuan has never been interested in Xu Shuzheng, not to mention that Xu was won by him, and when he got up again, it was a slap in the face, so he said angrily: "It's really too much!" Military Prime Minister, Military Secretary-General! This is the Oriental sword, and there is the Oriental sword! This refers to the fact that Duan and Xu are both studying at the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, and they are dissatisfied with the two advancing and retreating together politically.
But there is no way, without Duan Qirui, no one in the Beiyang Army will obey anyone, and it is his lame president who is unlucky. This is also one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin used Zhang Hanqing's cleverness to test Yuan Shikai and got a plan---- Lao Yuan didn't have time to play with him.
Similarly, Zhang Zuolin did not spare time to care about the situation in the capital, and Feng Delin in the same city has become the first obstacle to his rise. Whether Feng Delin can be subdued, or whether Feng will no longer block him, tests Zhang Zuolin's wisdom.
