Duan Qirui was helpless, Zhang Zuolin had already made it clear: Whether I borrow arms or grab arms, they are all the property of the state, who uses them or not? Why choose one over the other? If you want me to work for you, why don't you have to get some blood? He, Duan Qirui, can't say that this batch of arms is for himself to recruit private soldiers! So Duan Qirui, who was touched for his shortcomings, couldn't get angry, but his vigilance against Fengjun was deeper.

Due to the rapid entry of the Feng army, Feng Yuxiang's "surprise army plan" to attack Anhui could not be realized. At that time, Feng Yuxiang threatened that all officers and soldiers would advance and retreat together with the brigade commander, and the situation forced him to bow his head. Ni Sichong asked the Beijing government to quickly telegraph Cao Kun to send troops to attack Feng Brigade to "stop the great trouble of the Yangtze River"; and accused Feng Kang of not confessing, and adding troops to the upper and lower reaches of Wuxue to strangle, and secretly going back and forth with Su Du to discuss various things, which shows that his ambition is unscrupulous and he is instructed by others. But Cao Kun refused to send troops, so Ni Sichong did not dare to attack alone.

Feng Yuxiang had already made a name for himself at this time, and how to settle this army was a difficult problem. Zhang Huaizhi suggested that Feng Brigade be transferred to Heilongjiang to garrison, but Feng Yuxiang naturally refused to fill the army and "sent it to the frontier to serve." Of course, Zhang Zuolin will not welcome this army, and still wants to seep sand in Lao Zhang's territory? It was not until March 18 of the following year that the Beijing government adopted Cao Kun's opinion, gave Feng Yuxiang the punishment of "dismissal and retention", abducted the lieutenant general of the army, temporarily allowed him to remain as a brigade commander, and handed over Cao Kun to be reassigned in moderation.

After the Feng army entered the customs, Zhang Zuolin put forward two demands: the dismissal of Li Chun and the crusade against Feng Yuxiang, which he said was to "support the Führer." But the Führer, who was supported by him, was frightened and flustered. On February 26, Feng Guozhang convened an emergency meeting at the presidential palace to discuss the countermeasures for the entry of the Feng army, and he asked Duan Qirui with a stupid eye: "This time the Feng army sent troops into the customs neither ordered nor reported, what is the intention?" Duan Qirui replied that he didn't know. Feng asked loudly: "What kind of collusion did the former army vice minister Xu Shuzheng do when he went to Fengtian?" Duan was even more embarrassed.

The meeting, of course, was inconclusive. Feng wanted Duan to ask Zhang Zuolin to withdraw from the army, Duan was the primitive person who summoned the Fengjun to enter the customs, how could he want to withdraw from the Fengjun again? What's more, it is easy to summon a tiger and it is difficult to retreat from the tiger, even if he is willing to ask Zhang to retire, in fact, he can't do it. Retreat can be self-reliant, and advance will take advantage of the benefits, how can Zhang Hanqing, who is well versed in this history, easily give up this fat in his hands; And Duan Qirui didn't know that Zhang Zuolin, the king of Guanwai, was not easy to provoke, and it was not easy to invite him out, but since he drank to quench his thirst, he could only "hard"!

Feng Guozhang knew that it was impossible to ask Duan Qirui to withdraw from the Fengarmy, so he had to invite Zhao Erxun, who had been the governor of the three eastern provinces in the late Qing Dynasty, personally appeased Zhang Zuolin and supported him, to Fengtian to persuade Zhang Zuolin to withdraw from the army.

Zhang Zuolin attaches great importance to love and righteousness, he has always been grateful and respectful to Zhao Erxun, plus Zhao is 31 years older than Zhang, Zhang Zuolin has always treated him like a father, and has taught his children to always call Zhao Erxun a grandfather. But feelings are feelings, politics is politics, and when the times are changing, Zhang Zuolin didn't want to buy his old boss's account for a long time, but because of the situation, it was not good to refute him directly. However, Zhao Erxun is getting older, and under Zhang Zuolin's Tai Chi methods, he will naturally run for nothing in the end.

On 5 March, the first section of the Fengjun army drove from Tianjin to Langfang to inspect passengers at the station, much to the surprise of Chinese and foreign people. The State Council in Beijing sent a telegram to persuade them, explaining that Langfang was not a martial law area and that it was not allowed to inspect passengers. And Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram to talk about him, he said: "Sending troops to seize weapons is the heart of the main battle of the head of state, the soldiers have entered the customs, there is no way to retreat, and if there is something in the Yangtze River, you can go south to help." He asked the Beijing government to designate barracks in the area of the Temple of Heaven so that the Feng army could be stationed, but without waiting for a reply, his subordinates had already looked for barracks in the area of the Temple of Heaven and Nancheng.

In order to unify the command of the Feng army in the Guannai, Zhang Zuolin took himself as the commander and Yang Yuting as the chief of staff to control all the Feng troops in the Guannai; Zhang Zuoxiang became the commander-in-chief of the rear road and was stationed at Shanhaiguan to ensure that he could advance or retreat; Zhang Hanqing returned to Fengtian to lead the rear affairs and supervise the country like a prince.

As if to explain the reason for Feng's army entering Beijing, on March 7 Fengtian published a telegram exchanged between Zhang Zuolin and Cao Kun and Zhang Huaizhi. Zhang Zuolin's telegram on March 5 stated that his purpose was to "support the Central Committee, maintain the overall situation, always unite, quell civil strife, liaise with comrades, and jointly save the peril." He also said that the Tianjin Conference incorporated the Feng army into the first road, and later reorganized it into the second road, and he expressed great sympathy, and now it has been organized into six mixed brigades, and if it is not opened, then "it is unbelieving in comrades and injustice to my brother, and each brigade will soon be able to go to Xu, join the army, and listen to the command."

Zhang Zuolin tried his best to explain in this telegram: "I have no personal ambitions, I have exceeded my wealth, wealth, fame and power, what do I hope for, I only focus on the current situation, my brother expands his strength, and he specializes in tutoring my brother, and he has no selfish intentions. His earnest feelings are almost sworn by heaven.

Cao Kun's Yang telegram on March 7 was to welcome Fengjun into the customs, praising Zhang Zuolin for "being righteous and upright, bright and bright, friends of flesh and blood, and friendship and life and death." Please concentrate on Xuzhou and join the second road; Please also send one or two more mixed brigades to Hankow to join the first route." Zhang Huaizhi's Yangdian praised the entry of the Feng army into the customs as "strengthening my morale and strengthening our support", and said that Hanzhuang had been designated as the first stop of the Feng army's southward movement.

Zhang Zuolin didn't want his army to be cannon fodder, but he couldn't stop there. Just as he was hesitating, Zhang Hanqing smiled lightly after understanding: "This is easy." Uncle Xu has been idle for a long time, and he has no ambition in Hei Province, so it is better to let him go to Shaanxi to fight the 'Yasukuni Army'. ”

This Uncle Xu is Xu Lanzhou, who was dug out by Zhang Hanqing, he is the assistant of the armaments of Hei Province, but the overseer Bao Guiqing is on guard against him, and the strength of Wu Junsheng and Han Linchun's two divisions is there, and he, the outdated division commander, has no room to play at all. The original main force of his first division was disintegrated by Zhang Hanqing, and the remaining troops were later formed into a brigade and had no serious ground to recuperate, and still relied on Zhang Hanqing's "help". Zhang Zuolin still has a trace of guilt towards him, but the Black Province really can't accommodate so many big dragons, and now he has the opportunity to solve a piece of his heart, of course, he is grateful.

After having a heart-to-heart exchange with Xu Lanzhou, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram: "Xu Lanzhou, the former military assistant of Hei Province, is loyal and brave. On the occasion of the country's employment of personnel, Zuo Lin does not shy away from personal feelings, and guarantees that he is the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Bandit Army, which will definitely be able to deter Xiaoxiao and recover lost territory. Xu Lanzhou led the troops again, and naturally gladly accepted the order. Zhang Hanqing also managed to make up for the original "lack of virtue", and managed to make up for him the urgently needed 1,000 military horses and a large amount of baggage, so that Xu Lanzhou, who originally had some opinions about Zhang Hanqing, had to express his gratitude again and again, because the mustard caused by the army being "cannibalized" also disappeared.
