Chapter 241: Infighting
After Yuan Shikai's death, the Beiyang mess he left behind was handed over to Duan Qirui. Zhang Hanqing knows Duan Qirui's name ---- a history of the Republic of China, which is actually a story with Duan Qirui as the main axis. Although Duan has three ups and downs, but in the early days, he had absolute authority in the Central Committee---- he was Yuan Shikai's army chief for 8 years, and created the Anhui system. At the far-sighted request of Zhang Hanqing, Zhang Zuolin took the initiative to transfer money to Duan Qirui.
Because Feng Delin was hostile to Zhang Zuolin, Zhang Zuolin took a certain route, so he supported Li Yuanhong, and sent Bai Yunchang, the chief of staff, to Beijing to accuse Zhang Zuolin in person, saying that he "connived at his son's misdeeds, and the people of Xinmin suffered from it for a long time; The private army has caused new and old officers to leave Germany, has lost the morale of the army, and the disaster in Fengtian is in danger, and asked President Li to quickly send someone to replace him, and said that Duan Qirui is protecting Zhang "Yunyun."
Zhang Zuolin, a strongman outside the Guan, took the initiative to show his allegiance, and how could Duan Qirui, who was bent on controlling the power of the central government, not express something? Besides, there is still a small paragraph (Duan Zhigui) praising Zhang Nufeng's words in his ears. After becoming the powerful and responsible prime minister, he reciprocated the favor and secretly told Zhang Zuolin that he could not see the two tigers outside the Guanxi fighting, but invited Feng to enter Beijing to face important politics, which made it a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. Of course, Feng Delin will not fall for the trick and ignore it accordingly. Zhang Zuolin promised not to resort to force, but the air in Fengtian Province was tense, the fighting was strict, and there were no pedestrians at night, and the situation was extremely serious.
Although the mediation of the central government was ineffective, on Zhang Zuolin's side, it had the absolute moral upper hand. The Guards Brigade became famous in the first battle, and Zhang Zuolin brought the aftermath of the victory of the bandits, and his attitude towards Feng Delin changed 180 degrees, and he began to accuse Feng in public of "supporting the army and respecting himself, having no superiors, and having the idea of cholera and armed separation." The two sides officially tore their faces, Feng Delin even refused to participate in the young marshal's wedding, and the two became inseparable.
When the dispute between Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin was intensifying, Tang Yulin, the commander of the 53rd Brigade of his close subordinates, fell out with Zhang again.
Tang Yulin's opposition was because Zhang Hanqing's reform in Fengtian touched the interests of many people, especially Tang Yulin, the commander of the 53rd Brigade, who was resolutely opposed in the first place. He was originally a bandit, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling everything. However, in the past few years, he followed Zhang Zuolin to fight in the east and west, and fought in the south and the north, and won some battles with his recklessness, and Zhang Zuolin still gave face to the old people.
Tang Yulin and Zhang Zuolin are brothers. I have always thought that I am the stars in the sky, and the heavens are at my own responsibility. He thinks he is the reincarnation of the Black Tiger Star, so he has a tiger specimen in his room, and on the wall is a large picture of him riding a tiger and wearing a tiger skin on his chair, claiming to be a tiger general in the world. His relatives relied on Tang Yulin's power to collude, and they were embarrassed to make a lot of money, and the local people were shocked when they mentioned the Tang family, calling Tang Yulin Tang Erhu, which really responded to the idiom "harsh government is fiercer than tigers". It was this "tiger" who abandoned the city and fled when he saw the Japanese in history. As a person who has come over, Zhang Hanqing is very familiar with his history.
This Tang Yulin once served as the commander of the provincial secret agent team. This secret agent team was originally established by Zhang Zuolin---- at that time, Zhang Hanqing had not yet crossed---- purpose was to play a role in the provincial capital of Fengtian to fight dissidents and spy on intelligence. However, because these "secret agents" are not good people, they think that they have fought hard for many years and have made great achievements, and they should enjoy it after entering the city, so they are powerful in Fengtian City, disturbing the people and attacking the police, and public opinion is very bad. After the crossing, Zhang Hanqing has already had the intention to replace him. When Wang Yongjiang was heavily used, he imitated the Japanese police system and reformed the police system, and set up many police stations (later called police stations) in various parts of the provincial capital to deal with emergencies. Tang's secret agent team caused trouble everywhere, and naturally became a frequent visitor to the police station, and was punished by Wang Yongjiang many times, which intensified Tang Yulin's contradiction with Wang Yongjiang. The bosses don't get along, and there are frequent clashes between the soldiers and the police below.
Tang Yulin relied on the fact that he was a descendant of Zhang Zuolin, and he had repeatedly supported Zhang Zuolin during the expansion of his power, and he had always been arrogant, and he was dissatisfied with Zhang Hanqing's restriction of his strength. But Zhang Hanqing is a young marshal after all, so he can't help it, but there is no need to pretend to Wang Yongjiang, who is favored by Zhang Hanqing. He also counted on not giving Wang Yongjiang a face to express his dissatisfaction with the reform of the young marshal, so he and Wang Yongjiang have always been-for-tat.
Tang's army often clashed with the police, and when the matter reached Zhang Zuolin's ears, Zhang Zuolin did not protect his shortcomings at all, and always severely punished the officers and soldiers who caused trouble, and summoned Tang and others to reprimand him, which made him often feel embarrassed. As the relationship between the two is opposed, the conflict gradually intensifies.
In order to complete the goal of separating the military and police as soon as possible, Zhang Hanqing was determined to attack Tang Yulin, who was too big to lose. He said that Zhang Zuolin wanted to weaken the power of officers in the non-military system. The first target was Tang Yulin's secret agent team, which demanded that it be abolished and merged into the police system and the "FIT Bureau", on the grounds that a full-time intelligence system, the "FJ", had been set up to integrate resources.
Although Tang Yulin was jealous of this young marshal, he would never back down on major matters involving his power. At the high-level military and political meeting of the Fengtian Governor's Military Administration on the handling of the secret agent team, Zhen Zhen resigned. Many officers who were dissatisfied with Wang Yongjiang also expressed their support, and what was originally to discuss the whereabouts and stay of the secret agent team turned into a "begging for the king" oath.
Seeing that the theme of the meeting was shifted, Zhang Hanqing's heart was on fire, and he took the initiative to attack and said loudly: "The separation of the military and police is a resolution made at the previous meeting of the Grand Marshal's Palace, and it is imperative. Wang Minyuan (Wang Yongjiang's character) did a very good job as the director of the police department and the chief of the provincial police, he enforced the law impartially and was known for his prestige, and the police department was also quite appreciated by the people of Fengtian. On the contrary, the secret spy team has long been in a miasma, and it has only seen that the increase in personnel has not been effective, and its role in all previous incidents is far less than that of the 'intelligence bureau', so this chicken-ribbed unit must not only be withdrawn, but also withdrawn quickly and cleanly. I suggest that from now on, Wang Minyuan will take the lead in the dismantling of the secret agent team, and no one else should interfere. ”
Tang Yulin is an old man in the army, and Zhang Hanqing is determined to kill chickens and set an example for monkeys, and with the authority of a young marshal, he will put an end to the obstacles to reform.
Although Zhang Hanqing is still a hairy boy who has not dried up in the eyes of everyone, the feudal ancient style still exists, and the weight of the "prince" status is still very heavy. And after experiencing the annihilation of the "Qinwang Army" in the First World War, his prestige skyrocketed. When he spoke, some military and political dignitaries such as Sun Liechen, who were originally dissatisfied with Wang Yongjiang, subconsciously shut up.
Only Tang Yulin didn't care, he leaned on the old man and said: "Little Liuzi, I didn't say you, you were still wearing open pants when Lao Tzu led the troops to fight." What kind of separation between military and police, it's all bullshit! If you don't engage in this thing, the handsome man will still sit firmly in Fengtian City! ”
can use this tune to tease Zhang Hanqing, it is estimated that there is no second one in Manfengtian City. Zhang Hanqing didn't laugh angrily, and said: "Xueliang naturally doesn't have as much knowledge as the second uncle. According to the meaning of the second uncle, it is because my father and uncles can have such an achievement, all thanks to the second uncle? However, Xueliang has read some books and knows that he can win the world immediately, but he can't rule the world immediately. The second uncle's contribution to Fengjun's achievements today is obvious to all, but Xueliang doesn't want to succeed and defeat Xiao He. ”
The people here are all bandits who follow Zhang Zuolin to fight the world together, and their education level is generally not high, and there are many illiterate people, but everyone understands the meaning of the young marshal's words.
In the face of the pampered and arrogant Tang Yulin, and some old subordinates who were detached from morality, Zhang Zuolin felt that it was necessary to beat him---- Tang Yulin's lawlessness made him unbearable. When Lao Tzu was there, even Lao Tzu's son was not respected, and he would not rebel against the sky in the future! He stared at Tang Yulin and scolded bitterly: "A gun can fight the world, but it can't rule the world, you know a fart!" It's not worth it to lead a horse to Wang Minyuan! ”
Tang Yulin was stupid when he heard it: he worked hard to crawl out of the pile of dead people from the rain of bullets, and he was not as good as a literati who sold his mouth! It seems that the eldest brother can't look down on these bloody brothers! But he didn't dare to be angry with Zhang Zuolin, and the account was all counted on Wang Yongjiang's head, and he secretly pondered looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Wang Yongjiang. At his instigation, some generals of the army also rejected civilian officials like Wang Yongjiang.
This incident also caused the fuse of Zhang and Tang's relationship to break down.
The discord between Zhang and Tang is Feng Delin's opportunity, and he knows the reason why the other side is up and down. With his aggressive attitude some time ago, it is impossible for Zhang Zuolin not to hold a grudge, and he must be waiting for an opportunity to give himself a knife. If the 27th Division is in internal strife, of course, the 28th Division can surrender without a fight, but it will try its best to provoke it.
He personally sent Zhang Haipeng, commander of the 55th Brigade of the 28th Division, to infiltrate the 27th Division to instigate a mutiny. Speaking of which, this Zhang Haipeng is not a good commodity in history, and he was also a lackey of the Japanese in history. His method of winning over personnel is nothing more than knowing that righteousness is moving for profit.
However, Zhang Zuolin was still good to the main generals of the 27th Division, who once held a brigade of heavy soldiers and now replaced Zhang Zuolin as the commander of the 27th Division, Sun Liechen bluntly rejected him, and Zhang Zuoxiang only talked about the righteousness of the brothers in a little cold, and said to Zhang Haipeng: "The overseer is not thin on me, and you and I have eight friendships, and if you and I want me to betray my eldest brother, one is unrighteousness, and the other is disloyalty." Let's talk these words to Feng Delin, take care of his 28th division, and the eldest brother will not count the past festivals. If you come now, we are still brothers, and if we continue like this, I am afraid that it will be a little inappropriate for you and me to meet. ”
Zhang Haipeng left the 27th Division in a gloomy manner, and he basically gained nothing this time. Of course, the "Fengqi Bureau" closely monitored this movement, and the attitude of Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen made Zhang Zuolin quite satisfied, and he relaxed his vigilance against Tang, Zhang, and Feng.
