Speaking of Feng Delin, Yuan Shikai is full of resentment.

Before becoming emperor, Feng Delin's movements in Fengtian were not inferior to Zhang Zuolin, and his statement could not be said to be disloyal and brave. He also swore that he would work for himself, the "Hongxian" emperor, but when the whole country rebelled against Yuan, Feng's attitude changed 180 degrees. It can be seen from his stance on that little section.

Duan Zhigui was originally sent to Mukden as a "prison army". After he came, he wandered between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, and it has always been smooth sailing, and the two of them also respect him. However, when the domestic rumors changed, he felt that Feng Delin's attitude towards him had changed, and he was no longer as respectful as in the past, and he no longer had any scruples about some words. He is self-aware, and he knows that the reason why he is valued by the two is because of the face of his boss Yuan Shikai. If anyone doesn't give Lao Yuan face, Lao Yuan will definitely make you lose your heart. But the situation is pressing, and he has no choice but to complain to Lao Yuan.

Because at this time, Lao Yuan was also in a state of anxiety.

The Kuomintang Sun Yat-sen continued to speak out in Guangdong, Cai Yi fought in Yunnan to Hunan, and the "Hongxian" imperial system was crumbling. At this time, Lao Yuan was in no mood to cause unhappiness to Lao Zhang's title of "Emperor and President". Because, when he ascended the throne, he ascended the throne, but he never officially became the emperor, and he was an authentic "closed emperor". At the time of the turmoil in all directions, he found that it was necessary to postpone the time of becoming emperor in the first place.

This postponement was not fulfilled until his death, and in early March, he finally made up his mind to abandon his ambitions to restore the monarchy. On the 22nd of the same month, Yuan Shikai announced the abolition of the imperial system, the restoration of the "Republic of China" era name, and the reappointment of Duan Qirui as Secretary of State and Chief of Army, in an attempt to rely on Duan to unite the Beiyang forces and support him to continue to serve as president.

But it was too late.

The provinces of the uprising did not recognize his qualifications to be president again, and Duan Qirui also forced him to hand over the military and political power. Guangdong, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Hunan, and Sichuan have all telegraphed to declare independence or sever ties with Yuan Shikai personally.

When you lose power, you can test people's hearts the most. Only Zhang Zuolin treats people sincerely. He was still as moved as he had in the past, and he also reported to Yuan Shikai many times, both openly and secretly.

Yuan Shikai also asked Feng Delin to assist in sending troops to Hunan, but Feng prevaricated with various excuses. Unlike Zhang Zuolin, who is direct and decisive, and does not talk about conditions, who does not need to be used by such loyal ministers? How could such a loyal minister bear to let him "shed blood and tears"?

Of course, Yuan Shikai also knew Zhang Zuolin's intentions, this was to take the opportunity to ask him for an official, but his words were not unreasonable. As an official in the same city and a division commander, Zhang Zuolin served as the nominal Fengtian general, and nominally could not have any expulsion against Feng Delin, nor did he have the slightest advantage in strength. Leaving the stronghold of Mukden, Zhang Zuolin took a certain risk. In the face of Lao Zhang's positivity and obedience, if you can't give Zhang Zuolin a more satisfactory arrangement, you can't say it, right? How can Zhang Zuolin be allowed to enter the palace?

In fact, Lao Yuan didn't know that he had already entered Zhang Hanqing's court.

Zhang Zuolin was able to agree happily, which has nothing to do with Zhang Hanqing's suggestion. Zhang Hanqing thinks that it is better to be false to the central government, and take advantage of the opportunity of Yuan Shikai to still be on the stage, and the biggest benefit is the best policy, and Zhang Zuolin deeply thinks so. This is a decision that the father and son have already made, but this time the performer is Zhang Zuolin.

Zhang Zuolin used the strategy of mourning the victory of the soldiers, not only did not bargain, but moved Lao Yuan with the image of a loyal and brave old man, and tactfully pointed out his worries, but there was no trace of forcing the palace. This speaking skill is really a science.

After Zhang Zuolin promised to send troops, he would solve the technical problems of sending troops. Yuan Shikai took special care of the Army Command Office, gave priority to solving his needs, replenished salaries, and made it as convenient as possible; In order to solve the problem of the blank situation of the 27th Division leaving the rear defense area, Zhang Zuolin proposed to add ten more battalions, and Yuan Shikai agreed to arrange for Wang Yitang to pay attention to priority; In order to reassure Zhang Zuolin, Yuan Shikai also decided to promote Zhang Zuolin to the position of Governor of Fengtian, at least nominally overwhelming Feng Delin.

The governor is the acting general, which is equivalent to giving a sweet date, so that Zhang Zuolin will do his best to work for him. Although he is an agent, at least nominally, Zhang Zuolin can manage Feng Delin's affairs in Fengtian.

Zhang Zuolin also lived up to his expectations and began to quickly mobilize and train the troops. The General Staff listed the battle plan to Yuan Shikai; The baggage department asked Lao Yuan for a lot of equipment; As an advance unit, the vanguard of Sun Liechen, commander of the 54th Brigade of the 27th Division, had already left Shanhaiguan and arrived in Tianjin to begin to receive supplies for pre-war preparations. In order to build up the momentum, Zhang Zuolin also sent a message that sprinkled with joy: "... Straight down to the clouds, just around the corner. A gentleman promises, without hesitation..."

Lao Yuan was very appreciative of Zhang Zuolin's "righteousness", and Zhang Zuolin called back and said that he was afraid that the reorganization of the Feng army would be unfavorable to the war situation, so he sent Sun Liechen as the commander-in-chief of the Feng army outside the Guanhai in advance, and then led the army after he settled the affairs of Fengtian. The two armies will go straight to the Hunan front line one after the other, please rest assured that the president will be at ease, and Lao Yuan will be even more amazed by him. If it weren't for Sun Liechen's sudden illness in Tianjin because of his unsuitability to water and soil, the army would have gone south.

However, Zhang Zuolin's performance gave the outside world an illusion that he had acted as Yuan Shikai's thug. Thinking of the performance of Zhang's father and son when the old Yuan was called emperor, the Yuan army criticized Zhang Zuolin. Cai Ye is an insider, but he doesn't dare to say it because he cares about Zhang Hanqing's safety. At the end of February, when the turmoil was at its worst, the Shanghai Party Department of the Kuomintang also secretly organized a gang to eliminate traitors, preparing to go north to take Zhang Hanqing's head and sacrifice the flag.

This rumor surprised both Lao Yuan and Xiao Zhang. Lao Yuan is sincere, because now he can count on Zhang Zuolin's family, his son naturally can't have the slightest mistake, and he was already very sorry for Lao Zhang's "friendly messenger" some time ago. Therefore, for the safety of Zhang Hanqing, he allocated a squadron of military police on the basis of the original squad of police, which was specially responsible for Zhang Hanqing's safety.

How can you afford such love! Zhang Hanqing had 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past in his heart. I stayed in the tiger's den and waited for my father to get the benefits, and now everything is going well and I was about to come out of the shell of a golden cicada, but it was self-defeating to have so many big-headed soldiers---- I finally had a plan to settle the previous class!

What to do? He didn't want to sneak away, he didn't want to be a martyr before dawn. However, Sun Liechen's army had already arrived in Tianjin, and if he did not join him, Sun Bu was immediately faced with the problem of whether to advance or retreat. The consequence was to either leave him behind and retreat outside the Guanwai, or go south, and then be dumped by the Beiyang army loyal to Yuan. The original illness of Sun Liechen was a signal that the two sides had made an agreement, and it was time to leave.

There is no way, Zhang Hanqing can only play the family card. He bought many gifts, and President Bingming was going to visit Sun Liechen. He presented Yuan Shikai in front of him and said: "The president's heart for his father's support, Xueliang saw it in his eyes, and he was very moved. Now that the 27th Division has been transferred to Tianjin, Commander Sun Liechen on the front line is like a son and nephew to be a good friend of his school, and he heard that he is in poor health, and he is thousands of miles away from Hunan, and I don't know when and what month I will have to meet him again. Xueliang wanted to visit Tianjin in person, and said goodbye to Commander Sun to renew his uncle and nephew relationship, and asked the president for permission. ”

Yuan Shikai had the heart to refuse, but it was difficult to say. There is still a bandage on his left hand (thanks to his ability to do it, even if he breaks a bone, he doesn't need to be raised for so many days!) Zhang Hanqing's words are sincere, and his feelings of longing are on the paper, which makes people can't bear to say the word "no". Thinking of Zhang Hanqing's consistent performance of loyalty: advocating that he tried his best to be the emperor, was plotted at a young age, and resolutely abandoned his friend's righteousness when Cai Yi betrayed to become loyal to the country, this kind of performance, as an elder, how can I disagree?

As a proton, Zhang Zuolin has fulfilled his promise to send troops, and has actually taken action, and the value has been lost. In this eventful autumn, Ya does not want to chill the hearts of people with lofty ideals because of this. However, after experiencing Cai Yi's incident, he still had some gains and losses. On the one hand, he happily agreed, and on the other hand, he arranged for the "Jingshi Law Enforcement Department" to arrange manpower to supervise him nearby.

Unlike Cai Yi, who had to make his family restless first and then leave Beijing under the pretext of illness, Zhang Hanqing was in Tianjin, where President Yuan sent someone to "escort" him. He was accompanied by Miss Zhu San's father, Zhu Qichao, who was temporarily suspended as a labor envoy. With the friendship between Lao Zhu and the Zhang family, how can it be said that it can also play a role in supervising and adjusting the direction of the wind? It's just that this kind of friendship is a little unsightly for Zhang Hanqing, who is bent on saving his life. Although Lao Yuan is a generation of heroes, he can't see through this young man's heart.

The labor army has to pay blood. Accompanying Zhang Hanqing was 10,000 brand-new Hanyang-made imitation Mauser rifles, 2 million rounds of ammunition, 50 machine guns, and tens of thousands of shells from the warehouse of the Army Command Office, as well as a sea of white flowers.

Zhang Hanqing's personal guard naturally followed, but Red Peony was left at home---- I thought that Lao Yuan would not be bored enough to take a woman to relieve his anger, and after Cai Ye turned his face with him, Xiao Fengxian was not harassed.

Naturally, several secret agents from the Jingshi Law Enforcement Department were also mixed in, and they received orders not to let Zhang Hanqing out of sight for a while. However, among the thousands of people in the vanguard of the Feng Army, no matter how good the personnel of the "Beijing Division Law Enforcement Office" are, they cannot openly interfere with Zhang Hanqing's actions! Therefore, although there were spies armed with hidden guns that could kill him at any time, Zhang Hanqing still calmly entered Sun Liechen's headquarters with the gift of "Labor Army".

Sun Liechen, who had received the news, personally greeted him, and at the moment he looked at Zhang Hanqing, the two of them smiled heartily, and they both celebrated the safe landing in their hearts. As for those spies, they are really not enough to come to the stage, and Sun Liechen has a hundred ways to support them. As long as they can't threaten Zhang Hanqing first-hand, in the barracks of the 54th Brigade, they can only be slaughtered.

The yellow crane is gone, and the yellow crane tower is vacant here.
