"President Junjian: Today, there are dogs who are good at learning, have a perverse personality, and do not obey discipline. The younger brother is not talented, and there is nothing he can do. Wen Da is known as a great Confucian in the presidential office, and he has admired him for a long time. The younger brother wants to make him go to Beijing in person to listen to the teachings every day, so as to become the pillar of the country. ”

A multi-cross telegram dispelled the last doubt in President Yuan's heart. Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the border, was soft and punned. The two sides reached a consensus on the issue of educating the next generation, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. However, President Yuan was overjoyed, how could he really be embarrassed to "discipline" his son?

Three days later, Zhang Hanqing entered Beijing.

Zhang Zuolin, who was born in a reckless manner, is still very dedicated to the safety of his eldest son, not only carefully selected a small number of capable soldiers as Zhang Hanqing's personal guard---- this is the first team in Zhang Hanqing's previous life and present life that can completely obey his orders, which can be regarded as the capital of his start. Originally, since they came to the tiger's den, the difference between a dozen or so people and millions of people was not much. He's a hairy boy with no power and no power, what is he doing with so many people's guards? But Zhang Zuolin still insisted on making arrangements.

Tan Hai and Gao Jiyi, who are the captains of the guard, are both designated by Zhang Hanqing himself. To Tan and Gao, to be honest, these two people he has never met before, but he has already become a cronie in his heart.

As the head of the four famous Zhang Xueliang's four lieutenants in history, Tan Hai is not visible at this time. His family is poor but honest and kind, and he finally got married but struggled to live without a living. Because his father and Zhang Zuoxiang had married brothers with different surnames, after living at home for a few months, Tan Hai came to Fengtian City to find Zhang Zuoxiang.

What kind of character is Zhang Zuoxiang? Zhang Zuolin's cronies and sworn brothers, at this time, were the chief of staff of the 27th Division. As Zhang Zuolin's three subordinate generals, who rely on him, are also powerful factions and brothers in the army, although Zhang Zuoxiang, who is the chief of staff of the division, is not as powerful as the other two brigade commanders Tang Yulin and Sun Liechen, he is more cautious.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, the division had two brigades and four regiments, and the status of the brigade commander was one level higher than that of the division's chief of staff. Like Tang and Sun, they are both major generals and brigade commanders, but Zhang Zuoxiang is a colonel. Among the three, Tang Yulin is bold and rough, Sun Liechen is loyal and reliable, and Zhang Zuoxiang advances and retreats to a certain extent.

Zhang Zuoxiang knew people, he took a fancy to Tan Hai's cautious and serious personality, so he took Tan Hai in the army as an errand boy, and soon won his favor, and soon was promoted from a soldier to an officer. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing, he would have been stinging for a long time.

When the news came out that Zhang Hanqing was going to Beijing, Zhang Zuolin was anxious to give him some suitable and safe personal companions, after all, Zhang Hanqing was not yet an adult, and he was far away in Beijing, and there was still a little worry about being a father. At this time, Zhang Hanqing only asked him for two people, and Tan Hai was one of them. Zhang Zuolin didn't know who Tan Hai was, but when he asked Zhang Zuoxiang for this person, Zhang Zuoxiang still said very pertinently: "Han Qing's vision is good, and Enbo can be of great use." ”

Zhang Zuolin has always been approving about Zhang Zuoxiang's acquaintance and overall situation, and the people he recognizes should be good. When I saw Tan Hai with my own eyes, I couldn't help but admire.

With keen eyes, honest response, and a flexible and robust body, this is the best choice for guards! If Zhang Hanqing hadn't designated him in advance, Zhang Zuolin would have wanted to use him for himself. This little sixth, don't look at the people who usually don't seem to care about the characters in the army, but he picked up a treasure when he made a move! It's hard for him.

If he knew that Zhang Hanqing was purely stained with the light of crossing, he didn't know what he would think.

The other one is even more interesting. This person named Gao Jiyi is rooted in Miao Hong, born in a professional class, and has studied in the Fengtian Army Accelerated School and the Army Surveying and Mapping School of the Three Eastern Provinces, and stayed in the school to teach because of his excellent grades. In Mukden, there are not many such people, but there are dozens and hundreds. If it weren't for Zhang Hanqing's proposal, Zhang Zuolin would just regard him as an ordinary military academy instructor.

Zhang Zuolin only thought that Naizi only had plans to join the military, so he was very interested in the military academy instructors. Gao Jiyi was very strange, because he had never had any contact with the major general of the General's Mansion, but it was not unusual for him to be able to directly pick him out of countless candidates.

You must know that as a public figure, Zhang Hanqing has a number of people in Fengtian Provincial City as a proton, so those who can be stationed around must be trustworthy people, and they are also pinned on high hopes. He was able to jump from a little-known small instructor to one of the closest figures to the major general, which surprised countless people.

Because his position was nothing else, Zhang Hanqing named him as his adjutant. This is a position only in the Republic of China, and according to modern terms, an adjutant is a secretary with military rank, that is, a confidential secretary. Later, he also asked Zhang Hanqing privately why he chose him as an adjutant, and Zhang Hanqing always said casually: "I know that you are a reliable person." For this trust and grace, Gao Jiyi is grateful to Zhang Hanqing for life.

In fact, it is not that Zhang Hanqing has any advanced wisdom, but that when the Northeast changed banners in history, it was Gao Jiyi, who unconditionally obeyed the young marshal and shot Yang and Chang, the bigwigs of the Northeast Army. His loyalty is made by "history".

Tan Hai was appointed as the captain of Zhang Hanqing's guard, and with ten carefully selected people, together with Gao Jiyi, boarded the train to Beijing on an auspicious day. In order to show his sincerity, on the second day of his arrival in Beijing, he wore a straight suit and went to see President Yuan.

For this visit, Zhang Hanqing did some homework. It is said that Yuan Shikaiyong wears a military uniform with three stars on epaulettes, which looks like a Zhongshan suit. According to the recollections of his important aides: "I have never seen him wear a suit, except for the family sacrifice, he has never worn a Chinese suit, he does not like the blue robe and horse coat, but he likes the young man to wear a suit." In order to do what he liked, Zhang Hanqing dressed up in a suit and leather shoes, and he was more serious than the first interview for work in his life.

However, he already has good looks, "people rely on clothes", so he is even more elegant.

Perhaps with the intention of making a local pilgrimage to the central government, or the idea of setting a benchmark, President Yuan Da cordially received this aspiring young man who had a good impression in his mind at the Juren Hall in Zhongnanhai, and there was also a middle-aged man in a general's uniform. Zhang Hanqing didn't have time to take a look, and patronized to see Yuan Shikai's bald head: "The bald head on Yuan Datou's silver dollar turns out to be really like this." ”

Now is the opportunity to see the true face of this famous person in Chinese history. Yuan Shikai is short and stocky, but his facial expressions are rich and his demeanor is agile. With a thick neck and a round head, he seems to be very energetic. His eyes are graceful and bright, keen and flexible, often with an alert look. He stared sharply at Zhang Hanqing, but he didn't show hostility, but always full of strong interest. His two eyes showed how quickly he grasped the trend of conversation, a very sophisticated politician, a shrewd man. If it weren't for the fact that he was now taking a path of no return, his status in Chinese history would be no less than that of the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, at least not inferior to the achievements of Sun Yat-sen later.

It seems that Yuan Shikai's figure is not very tall, but the temperament cultivated by years of military career makes people feel that they are not angry but powerful. Yan Xishan once told people that he had seen Yuan Shikai twice, but in the end he still didn't know what Yuan Shikai looked like, because when he met him, Yan Xishan was both respectful and awe-inspiring, and he didn't dare to look directly.

However, Zhang Hanqing did not show the usual panic of his peers or even the high-level Chinese leaders at that time, he was very calm and even a little rude to look directly, which made Yuan Shikai appreciate Zhang Hanqing's newborn calf. His father Zhang Zuolin was respectful when he saw him, is this child young? Or young?

Of course, Zhang Hanqing didn't dare to hold it up, no matter what, the person in front of him is known as Li Hongzhang's successor, the gravedigger of the Qing Dynasty, and the enemy of the Republic of China, and the first president of the Republic of China who can pinch the Qing court and Sun Yat-sen in his hands at the same time and obtain the unanimous approval of the powers, there is still a considerable deterrent, at least Zhang Hanqing needs to look up at this stage.

President Yuan Da looked at the childish Zhang Hanqing, and first liked it a little. In order to express his affection for Zhang Zuolin, he was full of praise: "I didn't expect Yuting to give birth to such an aura child!" Hmm, your name is Zhang Xueliang? Good name, well, learn to be a good man like your father. ”

He said it casually, but he also said it. Zhang Hanqing knew the allusion to his name, which was the name that Zhang Zuolin specially invited local celebrities to take, which meant to learn from Zhang Liang, the founding father of the Western Han Dynasty. Zhang Liang was a minister of the Han Dynasty, a minister, and a secretary, so he also took the word Han Qing.

The purpose of coming here is very clear, that is, to win the trust of Yuan Shikai on behalf of his father, so he took the opportunity to confess: "The words of the president are in line with the meaning of my father's name for Xueliang." When my father came, he instructed Xueliang to become a pillar of the country like Zhang Liang, the strategist of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and my father and son would always be loyal servants of the president, not traitors. ”

This was said so explicit and shameless that even Zhang Hanqing himself felt disgusted. However, when these words came out of the mouth of a teenage and a half-year-old child, there was nothing embarrassing about it, it only felt simple and credible, which made Zhang Zuolin's image in Yuan Shikai's heart "tall" again.

Yuan Shikai laughed, such straightforward words, only Zhang Zuolin, the local bun in the Northeast, can say it, right? But I like it! The first time he met Zhang Zuolin immediately came to his mind. There were many versions of this meeting in Yeshi, and the person concerned, Zhang Zuolin, did not say it later, and Yuan Shikai did not form any records there, only the memories of the descendants of the Yuan family, so that there were a lot of interesting jokes.

But Zhang Hanqing was clear, Lao Zhang gave him a detailed account of the causes and consequences of this meeting, and analyzed all kinds of obscure and contingency scenes in detail, just so that he could continue his previous good luck when he met Yuan Shikai. Even though Lao Zhang is a generation of heroes, he is still quite cautious when he meets a big hero who is better than him at this moment. In this regard, Zhang Hanqing deeply agreed.

If Yuan Shikai knew that he had looked away from the old Zhang father and son in the second half of his life, he would not know how he felt in the grave.
