So Zhang Zuolin arranged for the army to shoot at one night, and then pretended to report to Duan Zhigui, saying that Feng Delin was going to lead the 28th Division into the city to punish Duan Zhigui, the culprit of the imperial system, Zhang Zuolin said that he could not stop it. After Duan Zhigui heard this, he was very nervous, and Zhang Zuolin took the opportunity to persuade Duan Zhigui to avoid it. Duan Zhigui felt that this was a good idea, and after asking the Central Committee for approval, he took the opportunity to seize a huge amount of official money and some arms, and took a special train to Tianjin.

Zhang Zuolin secretly sent someone to inform Feng Delin of all this, and on the surface, he also sent Zhang Zuolin's confidant Sun Liechen, commander of the 54th Brigade, to lead a battalion of soldiers to personally escort him. However, when the train arrived at Goubangzi Station, it was intercepted by a regiment of the 28th Division's Jijinchun Brigade that Feng Delin had already arranged at Goubangzi Station. Qiu Enrong, the commander of the regiment, got into the car and handed over two telegrams in the name of the military and civilians of Fengtian, which said: "The outgoing general Duan Zhigui is the culprit of the imperial system, and the people of Fengtian are about to be punished as they deserve. "The soldiers crowded onto the platform with loaded guns and ammunition, and the situation was on the verge of breaking out.

Duan Zhigui showed the telegram to Sun Liechen, and after Sun Liechen read it, he said loudly and dissatisfiedly: "How can this be reasonable, wait for me to ask." He got out of the car and went to the box office to talk to Head Qiu, but Huang He went and there was no news. Duan Zhigui saw that Sun Liechen had not returned for a long time, panicked, and immediately ordered the official funds and arms to be unloaded and piled on the platform.

Seeing all this, Sun Liechen got into the car and reported: "People from all walks of life in Fengtian are in turmoil, and they must intercept the special car and escort it back. Duan Zhigui hurriedly nodded in approval and ordered it to be counted and brought back by Head Qiu.

Zhang Zuolin's goal has been achieved, and when he sees it, he will accept it, Duan Zhigui will be released, and he will escape from Fengtian in disgrace. However, when sending the Buddha to the west, Zhang Zuolin still asked Sun Liechen to lead a battalion of soldiers to escort him to Tianjin, which was full of favors. Duan Zhigui also felt that Zhang Lin was righteous enough, and he was very dissatisfied with Feng Delin, after all, the stolen money he worked so hard to scrape ended up making wedding clothes for others, and it was Feng Delin who benefited. After he arrived in Beijing, he met Yuan Shikai and tried his best to protect Zhang Zuolin, while reprimanding Feng Delin.

Pingkong got a huge amount of money, Feng Delin was overjoyed, but he was unexpectedly about the seriousness of this incident. If he knew that his short-sighted behavior was the countdown to his own decline, I don't know if he would still do it, or if he would still be so excited.

Of course, Zhang Zuolin has been dying for this huge amount of money for a long time, and of course he wants a piece of the pie. However, Zhang Hanqing clearly knew that after Yuan Shikai, the power belonged to Duan Qirui (Lao Duan), and Duan Zhigui (Xiao Duan) had a lot of connections with this old Duan. In order to "have something to say when we meet" in the future, there are some things that I have to endure pain.

Of course, it is not Zhang Zuolin's style to hand over these important official funds and arms to Feng Delin so cheaply and let him sit big, he would rather break up in two. However, in order to lure Feng Delin to come out, he promised to give him all the benefits, if he reached out like this, it would be a bit too much, Lao Zhang is not such a person.

Fortunately, the father and son had a plan before, and Zhang Hanqing was confident that he could let Feng Delin spit out the fat in his mouth.

On the eve of Duan Zhigui's departure from Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin felt that it was time to formally seize the power of Fengtian, so he officially promulgated the "Constitution of the Fengtian Security Association", which was a copy of the "Declaration of Independence" put forward by the provinces at this time. Yuan Jinkai also came forward to incite the business gentry and groups from all walks of life to advocate autonomy and propagandize "serving people to govern Feng".

Yuan Shikai was very surprised when he learned of these news, but at this time, anti-Yuan uprisings led by Sun Yat-sen broke out in Shandong, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi and other provinces. If there is any more chaos in the three eastern provinces, once Zhang Zuolin leads his troops into the customs, he will suffer from the enemy on his back.

It seems that Zhang Zuolin's position as a general of Fengtian alone can no longer win his satisfaction, and in this context, Yuan Shikai, who has thought twice, did not dare to send another person to Fengtian, so he had to choose one person between Feng Delin and Zhang Zuolin to officially take over the military and political power of Fengtian. When he was considering a candidate for governorship, he consulted Duan Zhigui.

In fact, there could only be one of the candidates at that time, Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, which was determined by strength. And Duan Zhigui hated Feng Delin, who sang blackface, so he recommended Zhang Zuolin.

Yuan Shikai's impression of Zhang Zuolin turned out to be good, but later Lao Zhang's behavior of not working hard and taking advantage of the chaos to make money was very dissatisfied, so he wanted to return his color in office. In his plan, Zhang Zuolin was arranged as the general of Fengtian and Feng Delin as the military assistant, but he also held the very important position of Fengtian patrol envoy (that is, the provincial governor), which was still a constraint to Zhang Zuolin. This is Yuan's angry response to Zhang Zuolin's duplicitousness and disobedience.

Because on the surface, Zhang Zuolin is the overseer, and his real power is not small. But considering that Feng Delin also has heavy troops, the part-time job of this patrol envoy will be different, which will make Zhang Zuolin helpless.

Duan Zhigui was very dissatisfied with Feng Delin, and at this time Zhang Zuolin's good character took advantage of it: "If the president does this, not only Zhang Zuolin will be very angry, but the situation will be more difficult to control; As far as Feng Delin is concerned, he also took a big advantage, how can people in the world be convinced? The so-called "people of the world" is actually him.

After thinking about it again, Yuan Shikai finally gave up his revenge at this time, but he still felt like a thorn in his heart.

Duan Zhigui's words made Yuan Shikai, who was undecided, finally make a decision. On April 22, President Yuan Da issued an order appointing Zhang Zuolin, commander of the 27th Division, as the general of Shengjing to supervise the military affairs of Fengtian, and at the same time appointed him as the envoy of the Fengtian Patrol (equivalent to the commander of the provincial military district and the commander of the armed police force and the governor), in fact, he was already the number one military and political leader in Fengtian.

Although Feng Delin, the commander of the 28th Division, who jumped up and down, was also the commander of the first division, he was appointed as the military assistant (deputy position) and was subordinate to Zhang. Yuan Shikai and Duan Zhigui respectively have Zhang and Feng as their main and deputy positions, and they may not have the intention of sowing discord.

The title of the military commander of the provinces, the Nanjing Provisional Government was called the governor, and the Yuan Shikai period was renamed the general, and later because the name of "general" was too smelly and had a bit of imperial flavor, it was renamed "overseer".

The Overseer is the military commander of a province, and the position of governor is the same level, one is the main army and the other is in charge, and each has its own duties, and is not under the control of the other. However, in the era of warlords, the power of a provincial overseer is far greater than that of the provincial governor, and a strong overseer can even directly decide whether the governor will stay or not. Due to the practice of martial arts in politics, the literati governor can only look at the face of the military overseer, Tan Yanmin later joked that "the overseer is the mother-in-law, and the provincial governor is the daughter-in-law", which is precisely because of this.
