Chapter 18 I Fight for the Dignity of 40,000,000 People
Cai Yi moved: Yunnan is too far away from Beijing, if there is an opportunity to raise the banner of anti-Yuan in the future, it will not be enough to complete the important task of protecting the law without a long war; If Zhang Zuolin can go with the sky, it will be of great benefit to the overall situation. But I don't know if Zhang Zuolin is just talking about this, or does he really have this intention? He said movingly: "Brother Yuting will really carry the banner of anti-Yuan? If so, it is a blessing for China. β
Zhang Hanqing smiled secretly in his heart: "It's true that the soldiers and horses are strong, and it is also true that they will eliminate this trouble for the country in the future, but it will be almost when everyone is fighting and Beijing is empty, and my father will dare to take advantage of the situation." When you are a bird, our Zhang family is not stupid. However, the donkey will not fall down, and the acting must be complete, he still said with a serious expression: "Of course." Before Xueliang left, my father told me to be careful and wait for the opportunity to leave Beijing. After I leave Beijing safely, he will use force to fight for the dignity of 40,000 people! β
"Fight for the dignity of 40,000,000 people!" Cai's eyes moistened. This was originally his heartfelt words, and it was said by the kid in front of him. "I'm not alone," he thought.
God is pitiful, Zhang Zuolin can't say such lofty words anyway. These bold words were all figured out by Zhang Hanqing himself, right? Of course, it is true that Zhang Zuolin asked him to wait for an opportunity to leave Beijing, without him, he can rest assured to fish in the water and bargain for some benefits. The reason why he has this bottom line is that Zhang Hanqing himself has no confidence to leave Beijing safely---- after all, he is alone and unfamiliar. The General Cai in front of him has a wide range of contacts: it may be inconvenient for him to escape, but there should be a way to arrange for a small person like himself who is not on the stage. I'm not afraid that he won't contribute, with the identity of his cheap father's "fellow road", and the bait of "soldiering", he has to send himself out safely, right?
And having said that, he still has a lot of ideas in his heart that he wants to put into practice, and the people in front of him can make great use of them: with his connections, he will always know some people, if he hopes that his father can play an important role in the anti-Yuan plan, it is the right thing to let his father sit big. Even if he recommends one or two slightly, it is excellent for Fengtian, who is in dire need of talents.
He blushed at the idea of his own fighting, after all, he was young, and his face had not yet been cultivated to the level of thick black. But Cai Ye thought that he was too excited, not only did he not think that he was a pestle, but he was also happy that the country had such a righteous successor. He stood up excitedly and patted Zhang Hanqing on the shoulder: "Hanqing, I am very relieved. You can live in peace, and on the day when the end of the road is revealed, if something goes wrong, I will arrange for you to leave Beijing first. β
This shot narrowed the distance between the uncle and nephew, and even more made Zhang Hanqing's heart come together with General Cai. In troubled times, in troubled times, is there a more intimate commitment than being able to ensure your own safety? Benefactor!
has already said that for the safety of Zhang Hanqing, there are some things that still have to be cautious for him, and this is Cai Yi's home field. So Cai Yi told Zhang Hanqing: "During this period, stay away from politics, regardless of the disturbances of the outside world, don't get involved, it will be useless to attract attention." β
He said it from the bottom of his heart. Since January of this year, Yuan Zheng's government has become more and more strict in controlling public opinion: In the spring, Wu Nai, the chief writer of Beijing's "Guofeng Daily" nicknamed "Wu Hutou," and Qiu Liang, the former editor-in-chief of Beijing's "Dish Cooking Daily," were shot dead one after another for opposing Yuan.
On June 8, the Ministry of the Interior of the Ministry of the People's Republic of China ordered the banning of newspapers and periodicals such as the Declaration of the National Salvation Emergency Advancement Association, the Fundamental Discussion of Salvation, the Monument Novel, the Chinese Vernacular Daily, the Patriotic Evening News, the Salvation Daily, the Wuqi Daily, and the Gonglun Daily.
On September 6, Huang Yuansheng, a well-known journalist who had left Beijing in a hurry, published a notice in the "Declaration", refusing to serve as the chief editor of the Shanghai edition of the "Asia Daily"; On the 10th, on the first day of its publication in Shanghai, the Shanghai edition of Asia Daily, which was "aimed at sponsoring the Imperial Movement," received a warning letter from readers ordering it to suspend publication. The next day, he was attacked by **.
In this situation, it seems that our future young marshal can only immerse himself in hard work and wait for changes, but thinking about it, it seems that he can't stop like water. For Zhang Hanqing, it is strange that he can read books under the threat of others all the time! Besides, time is running out, can you achieve your ambitions and ambitions by reading a few books now? An extra hundred years of knowledge is already an invaluable asset, do you need a few more books to support the faΓ§ade?
Zhang Hanqing often wonders: What did he do after crossing over? In addition to telling a few words of beneficial and inexpensive strategies based on historical experience, there is really little help for my father, and my father is the cornerstone of implementing his ideas. In a word, the greater the strength of the Feng Department to seize power, the greater the opportunity and ability to exert the golden finger effect in it.
It's a place that's dangerous, but it's safe. Because I knew that Zhang Zuolin was in history, it was not until President Yuan Da was about to lose his breath that he really turned against him. If you want to speed up the pace of the Feng Department, can you also make some ideas?
In this troubled world, it is not possible to rely on others, even his father Zhang Zuolin is the same. Historically, even if you are as powerful as the Bong line, you have buried the seeds of discord within; Whether it was in the early or late stage, it only took three years to really let his stand-in manage this later huge military and political group, during which it was thanks to the two marshals before and after: Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang. And even if this group is able to rally around itself, to be honest, many of them are not capable and ambitious enough to carry out their ambitions.
The northeast corner is too small, although there are many talents, but most of them do not have a big picture enough...
When you come to this world of flowers, if you want to do something, you still need your own team. Tan Hai is available, but he is only a martial artist, Gao Jiyi is not a person with particularly outstanding ability in military and politics, if he wants to make a big career, he needs a large number of talents who can be Wen Ke Anbang and Wu can stabilize the country, where are they all?
The main reason is that his name is not obvious, who would be stupid to follow a half-old child? is Zhuge Liang, who also took a fancy to Liu Bei's identity and his experience of wandering. Forget it, look at fate, in the future, I will always maintain a heart of "one meal and three spit feeding". In the Republic of China, where everything depends on face and seniority, let's follow my father first, lay eggs through the backdoor, and then choose the opportunity to act.
However, my father's life is really not too satisfactory, as the eldest son, although he has not yet participated in the military aircraft, Zhang Zuolin borrowed money from the Japanese a few times, and he knew that the money was used to equip a 27th division. Money is really tight, and my dad doesn't even have the money to maintain the artillery, let alone the ability to repair and build. With such financial resources, when will we be able to develop greatly?
No matter what you do, you need money! Zhang Hanqing, who was well aware of Zhang Zuolin's financial predicament, decided to use General Cai's connections in the capital to make a contribution to the increase of Fengtian's finances. Of course, I am now a smear to the Beiyang characters, and I need to carefully discuss it before making countermeasures.
Just do it, Zhang Hanqing is not an indecisive person. The stunned spirit in his bones and the clear "career" plan made him quickly think that the empty shelf general in front of him still had a few taels of meat to squeeze.
"If you want to do great things, how can you look ahead and look backward? Besides, my father is busy with President Yuan's 'big things', and it's too late for him to thank me, and the danger will definitely not be talked about now, hehe. But Uncle Shi, my father's strength is too weak, and it will be difficult to do something in the future. The little nephew really wants to borrow Uncle Shi's connections and wisdom to contribute to the Everbright Republic of China. β
Cai Ye is very selfless, there is no doubt about this. From the beginning of the Republic of China when he held important positions in Yunnan, to the later Dharma Protection Movement, countless enemies and friends can prove it to him. It is one thing that General Cai can fight, but if he does not have this lofty prestige, how can he dare to raise a rebel flag from Yunnan a few years later? This self-confidence is also evident.
He fully agreed with Zhang Hanqing's desire to strengthen his father's power in the name of public and half for private purposes. Since an anti-Yuan alliance has been formed in private, the greater Lao Zhang's strength, the more powerful and effective the anti-Yuan will be in the future. However, he hesitated and said, "Your father should know that although I am nominally the crown of generals, there is only a limit to what I can help him militarily in Beijing." Besides, Brother Yuting is currently only the commander of the 27th Division, and it is difficult to do this kind of thing in private, so I still have to remind him not to alarm Beijing. β
Mingren didn't say it secretly, General Cai was still very sincere, he didn't open his mouth indiscriminately in order to strengthen Zhang Zuolin's confidence in getting on his ship, and directly stated that he, a down-and-out general, was really powerless, and he was really a gentleman and frank. What he thought was that since Zhang Zuolin wanted to oppose Yuan in private, the idea of recruiting troops was inevitable, and a kind reminder was necessary.
He misunderstood what Zhang Hanqing meant. In the times, wars are fought in logistics and economy, and the kind of conscription that pulls the strong Ding style has been eliminated by the times. Conscription without regard to the lives of the people under his rule, although it can temporarily expand its influence on paper, it will never last. The rise of the Feng faction in the official history is based on the economic power of the other factions, and the Feng army is only an inevitable product of this condition.
Coming to this world, Zhang Hanqing decided to use his own conditions to quickly build a powerful Feng army, and of course, at the same time, to create a matching industrial and economic system. In this eventful season, of course, he would not instigate his father to take the risk of military expansion and plainly make Lao Yuan suspicious, but what about expanding Lao Zhang's private wealth? It is impossible to ignore the fact that an era of wealth and power is about to come!
So Zhang Hanqing explained: "Uncle Shi's situation is of course clear, and of course it will not make it difficult for Uncle Shi. The little nephew wanted to use Uncle Shi's connections to let his father talk to the envoys of European countries, and we would learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to do business. β
Hearing that Zhang Hanqing had such an idea, Cai Ye couldn't help but be curious: "Does Yuting want to buy arms?" β
