Chapter 118: Courtesy

Speaking of which, Zhang Zuolin and Wang Yongjiang still have a grudge, the two have a long-standing grudge: during the Russo-Japanese War in the third year of Guangxu (1904), Wang Yongjiang, who was only 35 years old at the time, once ran the Liaoyang police, and worked as a teacher in the Liaoyang Police School, and was awarded the title of "the first police in the province", which was appreciated by Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and wanted him to serve as the envoy of the civil affairs department of Fengtian (that is, the director of the civil affairs bureau), but was opposed by Zhang Zuolin.

At that time, Zhang felt that his feathers were abundant, and at this time his home "became the political center of the province, with a cloud of guests every day, including civil and military officials." Whatever matters are related to Zhang or unrelated, consult with him or seek his opinion, and he will be heard in advance." But Wang Yongjiang didn't eat this set, and never went to Zhang's mansion to give gifts or sets.

Zhao Erxun instructed him to take the initiative, but Wang Yongjiang entered Zhang's mansion empty-handed. Zhang Zuolin heard the housekeeper's report, deliberately did not come out to meet, Wang Ku sat for half an hour, brushed his sleeves and left, resigned that night and returned to Jinzhou, and left a satirical poem: "Shi Yuan is confused with wine, how can the big ears slow down the phoenix?" Only then did Jing Xiangning Zhiman, the common problem of heroes is light Confucianism! ”

However, if you win the world immediately, you cannot rule the world immediately. When Zhang Zuolin himself presided over the military administration of Fengtian, he found that Wang Yongjiang was the only candidate who could be qualified for the management of police duties conceived by Zhang Hanqing.

At this time, the security of Fengtian under his rule was not good: the Fengtian army had a complex source of soldiers, military discipline was not in order, and most of them were born in green forests and were lawless. Ordinary civilian officials have no experience in the army, so they dare not and cannot control these street soldiers; People in the army can no longer hold the duties of the police, and a group of big bosses in the army cannot do civil affairs. Since Tang Yulin heard about the separation of the military and police, he also deliberately allowed public order to deteriorate, using this as a capital to blackmail.

Zhang Zuolin was very angry, and began to recruit talents, and said to his subordinates: "Whoever in my generation has the ability to govern the country and the country, I will use it with a high salary!" ”

Yuan Jinkai, an important aide to his important staff and chairman of the Senate of the Overseer's Office, mentioned Wang Yongjiang in a timely manner: "Yongjiang is a genius in the world, and there is no one else under the general's curtain. Please let the general explain the petty suspicions so that he can do the great thing. Seeing that Zhang Zuolin seemed to be afraid, Yuan Jinkai said: "Minyuan got ahead when he was young, and was praised by the people of Jinzhou as 'Erlu Shuangding', and praised by the government and the opposition as 'the first person to run the police in the province', this person can be entrusted with important tasks!" ”

Wang Yongjiang has experience in managing the police, and his reputation is outside, this is a very important ---- in Fengtian, which needs a large number of talents, if such a figure is not used, what he says will also make people criticize Lao Zhang's sincerity. He has the heart to resolve this grievance, and it's nothing, but it's not easy to speak, after all, he doesn't know Zhuyu first. So Zhang Zuolin said with regret: "I was so forgetful back then, I don't know if Minyuan will look down on me because of this!" ”

As the eldest son, Zhang Hanqing took the initiative to share his father's worries, and he volunteered to say yes.

He is very clear about Wang Yongjiang's name: among the talents in history, he is one of the few people who have extraordinary political and economic performance, and can be called the "strongest brain" in Northeast China. As the founder of the modern national industry in Northeast China, he is known as the "God of Wealth" in Northeast China. If you want to make a difference, it's a pity that such talents are not recruited. Liu Bei can still look at the thatched house in order to seek talent, why don't you just dig up a talent, just give him enough courtesy.

Although I know that Wang Yongjiang finally followed Zhang Zuolin in history, the meaning of digging it up himself is different. Brother is not following history, but changing history! The Feng system is still only in its embryonic form, and he has to lay out his forces in advance. In order to show sincerity, Zhang Hanqing personally took a car to Jinzhou and came to the door with heavy gifts to ask for a meeting.

At this time, Wang Yongjiang was quite talented. Since that crown, I have been entertaining myself with reading books in the past few years. However, as Zhang Zuolin's position in Fengtian became more and more solid, outside the Guan, it was more difficult for him to have a bright day than to ascend to the sky, but his idea of reporting to the country and reporting immigrants was getting stronger and stronger.

On a sunny day, Zhang Hanqing slammed the latch, and then the two figures destined to make history met for the first time.

"Who are you? What's going on here? ”

"I am Zhang Xueliang, the son of Zhang Zuolin, the overseer of Fengtian, and my father made a special trip to ask me to come to my husband." Zhang Hanqing looked humble and fully interpreted the essence of the three visits to the thatched house.

"I'm a literati, and I have no power to restrain chickens, what does Zhang Dujun want me to do?"

"Mr. is talented, who in the world does not know? Saving the country from danger, helping the people in fire and water, and showing ambitions in the chest is the ambition of Mr. Xueliang, and I hope Mr. will help me. ”

"General Zhang's door is in front of the Halberd Senlie, my little sesame officer has arrived at the door, but I am honestly afraid!"

"The past can't be mentioned, the comer can still be chased, he has become famous every day, and he has drunk and laughed with his father for 30,000 times."

This is the dialogue between Zhang Hanqing Lixian and Wang Yongjiang in the later legend, which is quite a joke. In fact, what the two said is unknown to anyone except the parties. However, it is a historical fact that the young marshal and Wang Yongjiang have since become lifelong friends and comrades-in-arms.

Only Zhang Hanqing knew that he had expressed Lao Zhang's greatest sincerity by inviting him as the son of the governor of the Overseer's Mansion. As an aspiring political figure, how could Wang Yongjiang not get off the donkey? As for the dirtiness at the beginning, it was just a small episode in the personnel struggle, and for those who have already achieved a high position such as Zhang Zuolin, Wang Yongjiang will not be stupid enough to mention old grievances again, of course, as the young marshal said, "the past cannot be mentioned, and those who come can still be chased."

Wang Yongjiang happily obeyed his fate, and Zhang Zuolin also gave Wang Yongjiang a very high courtesy and made many preparations. What's the best thing for a reader? Face! For Zhang Zuolin, what he is best at is giving face. Since ancient times, corporal Lixian has been recited, and there are many such allusions in the commentaries. In order to recruit talents, it will not be ashamed to break the scene, and there is also Zhang Hanqing's face here. Therefore, when he learned that Zhang Hanqing had successfully persuaded Wang Yongjiang to work for the Overseer's Mansion and rushed to Fengtian tomorrow, he said happily: "Wang Xiucai will leave the mansion tomorrow, and I will personally go out to greet him!" ”

That's what he said, and that's what he did. On that day, in order to express his attention to the king, he specially instructed the adjutant: "There are distinguished guests today, and no one will see them." ”

When facing Wang Yongjiang, Zhang Zuolin only said one sentence: "Why is it too late?" ”

Wang Yongjiang was very moved, and only replied with one sentence: "It's not too late." ”

The guest and host laughed, Zhang Zuolin very ceremoniously invited Wang Yongjiang into the marshal's mansion, he was neatly dressed and greeted with a smile, so that Wang Yongjiang felt the enthusiasm of the host. On that day, high-ranking military and political officials in Fengtian gathered, and under the drive of Zhang's father and son, everyone treated Wang Yongjiang with a smile. As an intellectual cultivated in the old era, the grace of the death of a confidant is incomparable to no amount of temptation. Wang Yongjiang followed Zhang's father and son all his life, which has nothing to do with it.

This kind of kindness later formed such a mantra in Shenyang: "Wang Yongjiang enters the marshal's mansion ---- superior to others."
