Chapter 266: Grace
Two days later, Duan Qirui entered Beijing and re-assumed the post of prime minister, seizing the real power of the government. On the same day, Feng Delin was escorted from Tianjin to Beijing, where he was imprisoned at the headquarters of the 12th Division to stand trial. A month later, the president officially announced that "Von Delin, for his defection to the republic, has committed a clear crime, deprived of all official positions and honors, and handed over to the court for severe punishment according to law."
When this verdict came out, Feng Yong had exhausted all his efforts. His popularity in Beijing was almost non-existent, and he was mainly surrounded by the connections of his quasi-father-in-law, Jiang Chaozong.
Although Jiang Chaozong was completely thinking of the idea of supporting each other inside and outside and making Feng Delin his in-laws, after the Feng family lost power, it was rare that he did not regret it. The reason is that his daughter looks really that one, that one is not beautiful; And Feng Yong is indeed good-looking. After Feng Yong came to the door, he took the premise of getting married on a certain day to help Feng Delin get out of trouble.
To say that Jiang Chaozong was able to retreat unscathed, there were indeed two brushes. At the time of Zhang Xun's restoration, Jiang Chaozong obeyed Zhang Xun and participated in the restoration meeting; After Duan Qirui's horse factory took the oath, Jiang Chaozong secretly contacted Duan Qirui and confessed that he "did not approve of the restoration, but for the sake of Beijing's public security, he had to deal with Zhang Xunxu and the snake." After the war, Jiang Chaozong was dismissed from the post of commander of the infantry army, and on the surface he also hung the name of "General Diwei" in the general's office, but in fact he was idle.
This "General Dewey" is not a good name. The interpretation of "Di" in "Shu Da Yu Mo" is "Hui Diji, from the rebellion." Therefore, Duan Qirui called Jiang Chaozong "General Di Wei", which was a joke, an exhortation, and a warning.
It is conceivable that Feng Yong, who is almost a political novice, can play such a political elf. He didn't know the truth and reality, and thought that saving his father was all in Jiang Chaozong's thoughts, so he endured his dissatisfaction with his marriage and sacrificed himself to save his father.
But Jiang Chaozong, a figure who is almost on the fringes of politics, how easy is it to get Feng Delin out of the way? Feng Yong couldn't bear his father's trial, and after a month in Beijing, no matter how stupid he was, he knew that Jiang Chaozong's face was no longer reliable, and in desperation, he turned his gaze back to Guanwai. There, with his father's old ministry and considerable influence in North Town, will their face be more reliable?
Under Zhang Hanqing's analysis, Zhang Zuolin finally agreed that Ji Jinchun would succeed him as the commander of the 28th Division, and "gifted" Feng Yong to Beijing, which really won the hearts of a large number of people. However, when Feng Delin's recent situation was revealed by Feng Yong, there were still some people who couldn't sit still, including Ji Jinchun.
On the one hand, he was grateful for the kindness of the old chief, and on the other hand, the young owner personally returned to the helpless plea, Ji Jinchun decided to do his part no matter what, otherwise he would not be able to sit on the throne of the division commander, and he and Feng Delin's wife and son asked Zhang Zuolin to come to the rescue.
Speaking from his heart, Zhang Zuolin had already forgiven Feng Delin after learning that Feng Delin was imprisoned and Ji Jinchun promised to attach the entire division of the 28th Division. Now, Lao Feng's family came to ask to see, whether it was a gesture or a hindrance, he was ready to help.
He picked up Feng's wife, who was about to kneel, and said, "I can't help it, old sister-in-law, are you doing this to practice my Zhang Zuolin." I drank rice wine with my eldest brother, and his business is my business. Don't worry, although he and I have a dirty relationship because of some things, this brotherhood is still there! Tomorrow, I will take the leading figure of Quan Fengtian to petition Beijing, let go of my old face, and protect my eldest brother! ”
These words made Feng's wife burst into tears, and scolded Feng Delin again and again, "I don't know what to do, because he is called a brother, and he has had a dispute with the eldest brother for so long!" ”
Ji Jinchun was also full of emotion: "Zhang Dashuai is really responsible and powerful!" I can do things with you, and I'm happy to kill your head! ”
Feng Yong also cried: "Sixth uncle, all the mistakes are my father's fault!" When my father comes home safely, I will go to the sixth uncle's house to apologize for anything! ”
Seeing that the favor was good, Zhang Zuolin was very relieved, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Zhang Hanqing who was accompanying him, and couldn't help but think: "Xueliang, Hanqing, you are all Hanqing, and it is the same year, so it is better to bow in front of me and my old sister-in-law!" ”
Dare to love, Zhang Zuolin is addicted to worship. He himself drank rice wine twice with Feng Delin, Zhang Haipeng, Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Jinghui, Sun Liechen and others, and finally met Feng Delin with a sword? He and Bao Guiqing have also worshipped, or are they in-laws, aren't they still guarding against him, squeezing out and squeezing out? It can be seen that worshipping is unreliable, and he doesn't believe in this set of old people, but why does he just enjoy it?
Not to mention, after I crossed over, I was also influenced by him, and in just a few months, I drank rice wine twice with Duan Hongye and then with Gu Weijun in Beijing. Could it be that there is no better way for men to express their feelings except for worshipping each other?
However, at this time, it is in the northeast where Yijie Jinlan is popular, in order to control the hearts of the 28th Division, in order to completely accept Feng's connections in Fengtian, this worship really has to be done.
So the two of them fell in love (orangutan?) Sympathy, push the teeth and worship the brothers. Zhang Hanqing was a few months older and became a brother; Feng Yong was the youngest brother by a few months, which was basically a copy of the situation in the field.
This worship not only gathered the hearts of the people, but also showed the righteousness of the Zhang family, this worship, but gained the hearts of the 28th Division!
After that, Zhang Zuolin went to Beijing to find Duan Qirui in person, and at the same time mobilized more than 100 brigades, regiments, and battalion commanders of the 27th, 28th, and 29th Divisions to ask Beijing for Feng Delin's life. Not only that, but he also persuaded the gentry of the sixteen counties in western Liaoning to write a letter asking for tolerance. After the efforts of all parties to clear the way, on October 15, Duan Qirui's government changed the verdict to "insufficient evidence to participate in the restoration, and he was fined 800 yuan for the crime of opium smoking" and was released.
After Feng Delin was released from prison, the authorities appointed him as a senior adviser to Duan Qirui's presidential office in order to take care of his face, and Zhang Zuolin was in charge of the 28th Division. However, although Feng Delin was free, he no longer had a single soldier and was not in danger. Soon, Duan Qirui named Feng Delin as the "Minister of Mountain Guardian", responsible for guarding the ancestral tombs of the Qing Dynasty before entering the customs, which was a fat gap. Since then, Feng Delin has a wide range of fields, and he is happy to be a rich man, but he is insulated from politics.
At the moment when Zhang Zuolin's status is rising, it is not his blessing that he can be determined to be determined by the mountains and forests.
Duan Qirui's government ceremoniously went to welcome Li Yuanhong back as president, of course, this kind of thing happened, Li Yuanhong could not be the president anyway, which was also the backbone of the political arena in the early Republic of China. When he returned home, he telegraphed the whole country to resign, and Vice President Feng Guozhang, who lived in Nanjing, was invited to Beijing to act as president. The invitation was written by Duan Qirui himself, with only four words: "Fourth brother come quickly!" ”
The dispute between Fengtian Zhang and Feng was a major event outside the gate after Yuan Shikai's death, and the complete victory in this battle was also a turning point in the rise of Zhang Zuolin's Feng lineage.
