Chapter 288: The Battle of Seats (Part II)
The young marshal's intention is to be implemented, after all, he represents the Fengtian overseer, and he is also fighting for the face of the people in the Northeast, otherwise he will not be able to return to Fengtian to see Lao Zhang. He laughed and said: "Xueliang is also a good idea, age is the will of God, you don't have to worry about not being able to pay the difference when you go back." Xiao Zhang and Lingge are older than me combined, so I will be the next to the bottom. "He originally took Zhang Zuolin as the leader, so he didn't feel ashamed of being ranked after the young marshal.
Ding Chao's statement turned a joke into a decision to test the waters. Lu Yongxiang and Li Houji's representatives were unwilling to fall out with Lao Zhang, and they both decided to watch from the sidelines, but Jiang Guidi felt that he had lost face: When did these juniors become less and less concerned about themselves? ! He was furious and said, "Nonsense! This is where you are here to discuss national affairs, how can you be allowed to play with it? ”
Indeed, it is a bit of child's play for Zhang Hanqing to say such things on such an occasion. But when they don't treat themselves as shallots, aren't they allowed to have some opinions?
"Jiang seniors said this, is that because they think that Xueliang is not qualified? Or do you think that the Fengtian Overseers represented by Xueliang are not qualified? Xueliang was ordered to come on behalf of Fengtian, and he was not allowed to speak or accompany the last seat, so Xueliang did not need to participate in this meeting, and Jiang seniors could convey the results to Fengxing after the meeting! "Zhang Hanqing has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and of course he will not embarrass the people of Fengtian. He doesn't speak, but he gestures when he speaks.
He is a representative of Fengtian, and Yang Yuting is still an attendant. Zhang Hanqing is leaving, and a group of people in Fengtian are leaving. The black province represented by Ding Chao is definitely based on Feng Province, and of course the footsteps are by no means ambiguous.
Duan Qirui was deliberately pulling this Overseer Legion meeting to argue with the president. Among the overseers of the seven provinces and the three provinces, in addition to the Anhui family, Zhang Jingyao has the loudest reputation and the strongest strength. If Xiao Zhang runs away, basically the crusade against the direct family will become the Anhui family, so it will be a few points weaker in terms of momentum.
And Cao Kun, who is a native of Zhili but is currently inclined to the Anhui faction, is very embarrassed, because if there is no Feng faction (let's count Fenghei as Lao Zhang's faction) to participate, if Zhili fights, he, the Zhili person, will lose his moral foothold, how can he, the Zhili overseer, take advantage of this dispute?
So whether it is Zhang Jingyao or Cao Kun, they are all in the round. Lu Yongxiang also grabbed Zhang Hanqing and asked him to calm down, because the person who presided over the meeting was not Jiang Guidi.
Seeing that everyone was facing Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Gui was even more unhappy, and he shouted directly at Zhang Hanqing: "Even if your father Zhang Zuolin arrives in person, you have to give the old man some face!" When Lao Tzu was the commander of Rehe, your father didn't know where he was! ”
Zhang Hanqing was not lightly angry when he saw him, nor was he moved: "Senior Jiang, there is a way that the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach." You always look like your body is still strong, why is your mind not flexible at all? We are now discussing the unification of the south, if we can win just by seniority and age, we don't have to go to great lengths to fight for seats here, as long as you are sent to Guangdong, with your old age, Sun Cannon is not allowed to fall from the wind, why bother so many weeks? ”
This sounds funny, but anyone with a discerning eye can hear the ridicule in it. But listening to Zhang Hanqing, a young man who said it slowly, everyone couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Guidi has always relied on the old and sold the old, all the departments in Beiyang think that he is old, and there is a neutral branch of Yijun, and they all have a mentality of not cooperating with him and not dealing with him, how can he hear Zhang Hanqing sing so shallowly? As soon as he slapped the table, his beard and hair stood up, matching his burly figure, and his momentum was amazing: "Vertical! The old man is old and wants to shoot me, ask my 100,000 Yijun if he agrees! ”
If you are an ordinary person, you are afraid that you will be scared by him, but Zhang Hanqing is a person who has led soldiers, and he has courage and knowledge. Since you have decided to give up on him, you will not give up halfway. He replied with a smile: "Jiang senior's Yijun, Xueliang has seen it!" At the beginning, he learned to suppress bandits, and the predecessors of Meng Yijun tolerated it, allowing the kid to gain military merits. Speaking of which, it is also the merit of Jiang's predecessors. ”
The incident he said was that when Babu Zab rebelled, the Yi army was unable to suppress it, but instead promoted Zhang Hanqing's famous battle to suppress bandits. This incident made the Guards Brigade and Zhang Hanqing famous, but it exposed the shortcomings of the Yi Army's old and useless to the world again. As the third commander of the Yi Army, Jiang Guidi was disgraced because of this, which was also the reason why he didn't show Zhang Hanqing's face this time.
Zhang Hanqing didn't allow him to refute anymore, raised his head, and said: "The Yi Army stationed in Chengde has three infantry regiments and one battalion, one cavalry battalion, and one artillery battalion; There are two regiments and two battalions of infantry stationed in Chifeng, one battalion of cavalry and one battalion of artillery; two infantry regiments and one cavalry battalion stationed in Duolun; A total of two infantry battalions were stationed in Qinhuangdao. All the 26 infantry battalions were organized into eight regiments and two battalions, a total of one cavalry regiment, and two artillery battalions, with a total of 36,000 people, and claimed to be 100,000 to the outside world. ”
Zhang Hanqing said lightly, but Jiang Gui's face changed greatly. Yijun's defense was checked so clearly by him, what did Zhang Zuolin want to do? Although he relies on the old and sells the old, he also has to be "bought" by others. Fengjun Yijun was originally close to each other, and once the two sides got into a stalemate, it was not a good thing.
But in front of all the princes, Jiang Guidi couldn't show the slightest inferiority, so he forced a breath and said: "The Yi army has not met an opponent for many years, and it is not difficult to be detected by someone with a heart for a long time, even if you know?" ”
Everyone saw this scene. Although Jiang Guidi still seemed to be tough, everyone in the audience gasped. I don't know if what Zhang Hanqing said is true or false, but seeing that Jiang Guidi's expression has changed greatly, everyone has seen it, and they know that this strength is estimated to be eight or nine. Binggui is confidential, Zhang Hanqing can blurt out these things, and he usually puts a lot of thought into it. It is said that Zhang Zuolin is a strongman outside the border, and he doesn't want to be so scheming! Although they knew that Zhang Zuolin would not attack Yijun for a while, they were stared at by such an opponent, and everyone felt a chill down their backs.
However, Zhang Hanqing's indispensable smile made them sweat even more: "There is really nothing, but when Xueliang came, the 28th Division was ordered to march into Chaoyang, and the Guards Division was conducting exercises in Tongliao. I need to thank the head of your department, Song Jiuling, who cooperated with our department, and now the two sides are meeting on the Xilin Gol grassland. Commander Song had no other gifts to give, so he gave up the east of the Laoha River to garrison our army!
Just as Jiang said the old-timers, I think the Yi Army has not encountered an opponent for many years, and the officers and men are inevitably slack, and in order to prevent mistakes, the two divisions of the Feng Army have taken over Chaoyang, Chifeng and other places. Before Xueliang came, my father had also asked the central government for instructions to assign Chaoyang to Fengtian, I guess this matter should be done, first inform Jiang seniors in advance---- I think Jiang seniors should have gotten the news a long time ago, right? ”
Chaoyang was originally a region under the rule of Rehe, including four counties of Lingyuan, Jianping, Beipiao, Chaoyang and five counties of Karaqin Left Mongolian Autonomous County. It is connected to Chengde, the capital of Rehe Province in the west, Chifeng, a large grassland city in the north, and the West Liaoning Corridor in the south, with Hulugang, the largest port in West Liaoning, and the Jingfeng Railway crossing through, and the geographical location is very important. Zhang Zuolin wants to control the outside of the Guan, Shanhaiguan is the first important place, and Chaoyang is the place he must seek.
With Chifeng in his hand again, Feng Tiancai can be regarded as truly worry-free. Therefore, Yi Jun is the first person to be defeated on his way forward, and he can't even take care of the ugly food!
So Zhang Hanqing threw out this news, and the credibility is very high. And judging from the way this strongman outside the gate usually plans and then acts, things have been successful and not far from ten.
Jiang Gui was not calm at this time: "Song Jiuling actually gave up Chifeng without authorization?!" This little bastard, I have to kill him! ”
The reason for his anger was not that Song Jiuling was backlash, but that he didn't even know the news!
Zhang Hanqing smiled: "Song Tuan has long been under my father's control, and he can't see the Yi Army dying and abandoning the darkness to turn to the light, and now he is the commander of the mixed brigade under the command of my guard division." If Senior Jiang has anything to say that I need to bring to him, although it is convenient for me, if I want to kill him, I am afraid that I will also have to ask the 80,000 officers and soldiers of the five divisions of the Feng Army if they agree! ”
What was supposed to be a good oath meeting turned into a confrontation between the two armies of Feng and Yi. The Yi army did not have a numerical advantage over the Feng army, and the comparison of combat power was even more incomparable. Don't look at Jiang Gui's angry desire to raise his knife to battle, but everyone in the audience knows that the spring that belongs to him has passed.
Lao Jiang is really old, a blow made him look tired, in a storm of venting, he was out of breath, was helped to lie on the desk and sighed, his mouth just said: "I want to go to see Zhiquan, I want to talk to him!" ”
Zhiquan is Duan Qirui's word, but the former Prime Minister Duan, who has already gone into the wilderness, now needs to rely on the power of Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the Guanwai, to make a comeback, and the purpose of the alliance is mainly for this. Clear-eyed people know that at this time, how could Lao Duan offend Zhang Zuolin because of an over-angry Rehe capital? Besides, there are some things, and Lao Duan can't help it!
Due to Duan Qirui's departure, President Feng, who was being forced into the palace by all parties, definitely didn't have any mind to care about the "dog-eat-dog" style of "dog-eat-dog" fighting between Zhang Zuolin and Jiang Gui. Not only that, but in private, he should be very much looking forward to the hostility between the Yi army and the Feng army as a side branch of the Anhui line. If the Yi army and the Feng army fight because of this, it will be good for Duan Qirui, who is ready to concentrate his forces and fight with his direct family.
Zhang Zuolin is outside the border, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the north and the south fight or not, and his statement calling for peace talks between the north and the south is more like a show; And Jiang Gui is a well-known Anhui microphone, and its harm is much greater than Zhang Zuolin. Therefore, when Zhang Zuolin sent a report asking the government to approve the transfer of the Chaoyang area to Fengtian, Feng Guozhang was inclined to Zhang Zuolin, although he did not like Lao Zhang either. However, he was able to crack down on Duan Qirui's "lackey", and he still had a happy attitude to actively promote the completion of the procedures of the temporary cabinet, and the ---- ball was lost to you, see what you Duan Qirui should do?
The situation in the field has undergone major changes, and other people who were originally holding jokes have smiled at Zhang Hanqing, and after some humility, Zhang Hanqing's seat was rearranged, and he actually sat at the bottom of Cao and Zhang, ranking much higher than everyone else!
When it's time to fight, people really want to fight!
