Chapter 247: Exchange of Interests
Of course, in order to contain Bao Guiqing (in fact, it is more real to contain Wu Junsheng, who may be the dominant army), what does Bao Guiqing have to defend against ---- light pole? and expressed his comfort to Xu Lanzhou, the old man in Jiang Province, Zhang Zuolin still tried to make Xu Lanzhou still return to his original assistant office---- which also shows that this Zhang Dashuai is righteous enough. However, Xu Lanzhou returned to the dark this time and found that the real power was in the hands of Han Linchun, the general under Zhang Hanqing appointed by Zhang Zuolin.
As early as when Xu Lanzhou was still in Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin had already predicted the situation in Houhei Province: Bao Guiqing needed to continue to hang an honorary overseer there to settle the heart of the center, and Xu Lanzhou needed to go back to stir up the restlessness of the chickens and dogs in Hei Province---- so that his role was very important. Sometimes, the weight of your words depends on whether you can show your strength appropriately.
As for Wu Junsheng, he can give sweetness but not substance, he doesn't want to design to drive away Xu Lanzhou and others in front of him, and he will be a powerful faction on the back foot. Bi Guifang and Xu Lanzhou, the former is an empty overseer, the latter seems to have soldiers and generals but does not return to his heart, and Wu Junsheng has been in the barracks for so many years, and his forces are not trivial. Once he takes root in the Black Province, it will be much more difficult to control than the first two.
The military power of the Black Province must be firmly controlled in the hands of its own people, and it must be acceptable from top to bottom. Lao Wu's affairs have already been drafted, but who will be sent to take charge of the troops? This person needs to be carefully considered.
Sun Liechen is feasible, his ability and prestige to deal with the rebellion in Hei Province have been proven, but he is now taking over as the commander of the 27th Division, which is very important; The two brothers, Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Jinghui, were also fine, but after weighing the pros and cons, they gave up, because Zhang Hanqing unintentionally mentioned: "Father's hand is too long, I'm worried that the one in the center is not at ease..."
Yes, Fengtian has always been the leader of the Northeast, and the center has always pulled and beaten Zhang Zuolin. If he stretches his hand too long, it may backfire. Sending recognized Lao Zhang's cronies to the black province will inevitably attract attention from top to bottom. However, when he sent someone else, Lao Zhang was not only afraid that he would not be able to suppress the situation in the black province, but also afraid that he would have different intentions and cause the tail to be unstoppable.
So Lao Zhang Si thought about it, there was no suitable person available, and at this time Zhang Hanqing immediately exerted his influence: "I think I might as well let Han Linchun try it, he is old enough, and he can also take charge on his own, and besides, it is not a matter for him to be in the guard division..."
It's not that Zhang Hanqing is really embarrassed that there is a major general and deputy division commander next to him, the colonel, but that he took advantage of the problem. God-given opportunity, if your own people don't want to occupy a position, I'm so sorry for my efforts! For Lao Zhang, he really thinks that there is always a major general and deputy division commander next to his son, and no matter how generous Zhang Hanqing is, he still has to take care of other people's feelings, right?
And whether it is with Han Linchun's major general at the beginning of the Republic of China, or his military exploits in the Guards Brigade, or with his current position (deputy division commander), his work to incorporate the Black Province Army is a popular work. In particular, he had a unique condition: he was not a member of the 27th Division, so as to avoid giving people the pretext that ---- 27th Division had annexed the 1st Division. He is definitely Zhang Hanqing's person---- based on his contact with him for so long, he thinks that Han Linchun is indeed reliable.
Zhang Zuolin also recognized Han Linchun, but he still had some scruples about his appointment, worried that Wu Junsheng would turn his face---- old Wu could be led by his nose, which was also because it was profitable under the muddy waters of the Black Province. He has successively given him good words to expand his teacher and the grand plan of supervising the black in the future, but now he has an opportunity but he started first, who knows what he will think?
Zhang Hanqing was not worried: "With Wu Shibo's current conditions, there is little chance of wanting to ascend to the sky and supervise the black in one step, he should understand." But my father can completely contribute to his idea of expanding his teacher, I think if his father makes a good gesture, whether he succeeds or not, Wu Shibo will be grateful for his father's kindness, ----and if he doesn't succeed, he will not approve it, and he can also make Wu Shibo completely fall to his father's side. ”
Zhang Zuolin said worriedly: "I'm afraid that Xingquan has ideas, his entire army is in Hei Province, and he wants to do something to take the opportunity to reorganize the army in Hei Province, and I can't interfere clearly." ”
Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Wu Shibo has always been known for suppressing bandits, if he is allowed to return to his old profession and then reveal the intention of promoting his expansion..." In short, if you want to lay a world in the Northeast, Hei Province is determined to win!
Zhang Zuolin smiled and said, "Not bad." ”
As soon as Wu Junsheng entered Qiqihar, Zhang Zuolin sent someone to say to him: "My brother has helped me a lot several times, but Zuolin has nothing to repay, and I have sent a telegram to the Central Committee to ask the Central Committee to expand my brother's headquarters into the 29th Division, and good news can be expected." The black province is very chaotic, and if the elder brother can make new contributions here, he will be famous as a teacher. ”
As a general, no one will be suspicious of many soldiers. At that time, Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuolin, and Feng Delin were all patrol generals on an equal footing, and now the latter two are already the commanders of a division, and he is still a brigade commander, or a cavalry brigade with fewer numbers. Even though he is a lieutenant general, Wu Junsheng, the lieutenant general and brigade commander, has done a very boring job.
For this reason, Wu Junsheng had run through the capital and invested many people, preparing to expand the rear patrol team and the second cavalry brigade into the 29th Division of the army. He repeatedly discussed with President Lebanon and Premier Duan on the issue of editing, but he temporarily gave up due to financial difficulties. Although he is militarily shrewd, politically he is far from being the opponent of these people, and the phrase "insufficient funds" is blocked back, and he can only be troubled in vain if he is at a loss.
Can you be like Lao Zhang, who cut first and then expands the people and horses to create a fait accompli? The answer is no! Zhang Zuolin is the governor and the governor of the province, and he is rich, but he is a big difference in administrative rank.
So this time Zhang Zuolin swore that he was willing to contribute to him, and Lao Wu was happy, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it with gratitude. Zhang Zuolin sent Han Linchun to bring the division of the first brigade into the black, his intention is self-evident, and at this stage, he has no plan or courage to turn his face with Lao Zhang. As long as Zhang Zuolin is tough, he will definitely avoid the limelight. Now, Lao Zhang is very benevolent and righteous, and has hinted that he wants to exchange benefits with him, and he naturally understands it.
It's not that he didn't think about taking the opportunity to enter the Black Province, but seeing Zhang Zuolin's ambition, he really accepted it when he saw it. Lao Zhang jumped up and down so hard, is it really for the peace of the Black Province? Or do you have the idea of taking the opportunity to find trouble? Or both? He just ran out of ideas?
He must have had a lot of ideas!
It is difficult for the Overseer to be in place in one step, and the position of division commander is very likely to succeed, so it is not a good idea to compete with Lao Zhang at this time. What choice should be made, Lao Wu is also a wise man and does not need to be taught.
Therefore, when Han Linchun led a brigade of men and horses into Qiqihar, Wu Junsheng not only did not hinder him, but also helped him to work together to successfully subdue Yingshun and Baying, so there was no more turmoil in the military circles of Hei Province.
At this time, the two armies were stationed in Hei Province, especially Wu Junsheng, who looked at the British and Pakistani brigades that could be incorporated at any time, and it was absolutely impossible to say that there was no idea. But Lao Zhang asked him to suppress the bandits, so Wu Junsheng honestly went out of the city to the Suifen River Valley, where the bandits were the heaviest, and willingly let Han Linchun pick peaches.
In this way, Zhang Zuolin's appearance was inevitably a little too ugly, so he felt a little guilty, so he really cared about Wu Junsheng's matter, so he telegraphed the War Department to "solemnly" consider the matter of Wu Ministry's promotion to a division. The War Department did not slack off on his weight, and soon sent a reply saying: "Now that the situation is extremely difficult and financial resources are scarce, we have no choice but to strictly eliminate the military, and when this time comes, it is really difficult to expand the number of divisions. ”
Zhang Zuolin walked in the green forest, relying on righteousness and credit. Wu Junsheng has already given up the layout of competing with you in the black province, if you mess up this matter, how will you win the trust of others in the future? He decided to cut the battle first and then play it, so he immediately drafted the "Official Document on the Reorganization of the 29th Division", which directly stated that "Lieutenant General Wu Junsheng, the envoy of the town of Zchatao Liao and the commander of the patrol team of Fengtianhou Road, has the courage to know Wan Shuxian and the strategy, and can be regarded as the commander of the 29th Division of the Provisional Army.
If you want to postpone the reorganization, I will wait for your appointment after the reorganization is ready, but in the meantime, I will appoint him to the post of division commander. If the Central Committee refuses to do so, the person who offends will be Lao Wu, and the situation that Duan Qirui thinks of as the infighting between Wu, Zhang, Feng, and Ma will immediately go bankrupt and push Wu Junsheng to Zhang Zuolin's side. With the permission of the central government, Lao Wu will still remember Lao Zhang's affection, in short, he will win without loss.
Of course, Lao Zhang still has a few literary poles around him, and he emphasized the expansion of the 29th Division, "It is really because of the military defense of Wu Junsheng's department of Taoliao Town Guard Since the establishment of the Republic of China, the bloody battle has lasted for many years, and all directions have been victorious. Admittedly, I am afraid that I will lose the morale of the army. Zhang Xiluan, the former general of Zhen'an, once asked for a change of division, but the resumption order was suspended, and morale was hindered. The change of the Ba bandits in the last year should have made the army mix the old and the new, and the fatwa had both the difference between the past and the present, and the equipment was superior and inferior. At present, the ambitions of the Pakistani bandits are not dead, and when spring comes, they are bound to make a comeback. The non-uniform military system is not enough to motivate the soldiers. ”
As for the expenses that the Central Committee is worried about, Zhang Zuolin has already helped it solve it: "It is planned to reduce the budget of the Second Cavalry Brigade by 170,000 yuan, so that there will be no discrepancies in the funds, and there is no harm in reorganization.
Duan Qirui was alert to Lao Zhang's conspiracy, and in order to prevent him from succeeding, he decided to cut through the chaos quickly, immediately eliminated all difficulties, and promoted Wu Jun to the commander of the 29th Division of the Provisional Army of the Republic of China.
Wu Junsheng's army officially squeezed into the ranks of the strongest Chinese army in the world, and he himself was "promoted" from the commander of the cavalry brigade who was also the commander of the cavalry brigade in Taonan to the post of division commander, and finally stood in front of everyone in the name of lieutenant general and division commander. However, if Duan Qirui knew that Wu Junsheng would eventually be a hardcore Feng faction, and this deliberate arrangement accelerated the expansion of Zhang Zuolin and his Feng faction forces, would he be annoyed by this decision?
