At first, Zhang Zuolin was quite dissatisfied with the choice of this place: he likes to do it with real knives and guns, and the assassination is different from his usual style, and it happened on his own territory, so the yellow mud is smeared on the crotch of his pants, it is not but, how will others comment on himself? He originally admired Yang Yuting very much, but now he hated his viciousness.

However, Zhang Hanqing understood his father's intentions, smiled slightly and said: "Tianjin Fengjun is in charge of Yang Yuting, although Xu Shuzheng is nominally the deputy commander of Fengjun, everyone knows his identity, and they also know that it is impossible for him to transfer Fengjun, and no one will blame Fengjun for this incident." As long as his father was far away in Mukden at the time of the incident, it can naturally be said that he is not slacking off in restraining his subordinates. As long as it is proved that this matter was done by Xu and Yang in private, and my father will make it public in a vigorous manner, he can dispel the public opinion that is unfavorable to me. ”

Zhang Zuolin looked at Zhang Hanqing with some surprise, and said slowly: "Little Liuzi, I know that you and Ling Ge (Yang Yuting's character) have always been at odds, but his governor is still recommended by you. Although Ling Ge made this decision, didn't he also do it according to the decision of the original negotiation? Unloading the mill and killing the donkey in this way will chill the hearts of the officers and soldiers. How could you think that? ”

Yang Yuting has always relied on him, and he is not even worse than Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others, who started with him. Yang Yuting has outstanding ability, can always find the crux of the mess, in the long period of time as his senior staff (General Staff, equivalent to the secretary general of the Military Commission), he freed himself from heavy general affairs, Feng Department can have today's achievements, he is very credited.

No matter how Zhang Zuolin's worth changes, there are two positions, and Yang Yuting has always grasped them: one is Zhang Zuolin's general counselor, and the other is the supervision of the arsenal. The former is a counselor's military aircraft; The latter is the lifeblood of the Feng army.

He also united a large number of people in Fengtian: such as Zhang Zuolin's brother Zhang Jinghui and the veteran brigade commander of the 27th Division, Yu Zhen, a veteran and deputy chief of staff of the 27th Division, Xiqia, the director of education of the Fengtian Lecture and Wutang, and Ding Chao, the general staff member of the Hei Provincial Military Supervision Bureau. They occupy important positions, they have to have soldiers, they have to have weapons, and they have become a force to be reckoned with.

In the process of the rise of Zhang Hanqing's family, it is inevitable to erode their interests. Because of this, Yang Yuting resisted in private, although Yang Yuting strongly supported the separation of the military and the police in the Fengtian reform, it was only because he also saw Tang Yulin unhappy and used Zhang Hanqing's power to clear it, which does not mean that he does not reject and suppress Zhang Hanqing's power. If it were not for him, the development of the People's Party in Mukden would not have been constrained, the long-overdue full-scale land reform in Mukden would not have been carried out until the end of last year, and Zhang Hanqing would not have been forced to say that "the People's Party will not make efforts to seize administrative power in the three northeastern provinces."

Of course, Zhang Zuolin is happy to see Zhang Hanqing and Yang Yuting's dirty beards. If an organization is a stagnant pool or always speaks with one voice, it is not normal in itself. What the higher-ups should do is, first, to provoke disputes within the organization in a timely manner, and second, to grasp this degree so that it does not affect the overall situation. Although Lao Zhang did not take a systematic management course, in the long-term intrigue, he completed the course of the social university, and his grades were excellent.

Zhang Hanqing said softly: "If my father knew what Yang Yuting did in the Guannei, I don't think you would blame me for being ruthless." He only said a few words quietly, and Zhang Zuolin jumped like thunder and shouted: "I didn't expect that there was this white-eyed wolf by my side!" ”

Stopping Zhang Zuolin's action of about to order the adjutant to pull Yang Yuting back for questioning, Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Father, the matter has come to this point, and depending on the development of the situation, by taking advantage of this matter, my father can push the matter clean, and secondly, he can naturally take advantage of the situation to bring Yang's forces to the end. ”

Zhang Zuolin looked at Zhang Hanqing and was silent for a long time, and suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "Little Liuzi, it was right to let you study hard at the beginning." Those who have drunk foreign ink are different from what we think! ”

After Lu Jianzhang arrived in Tianjin, Xu Shuzheng wrote a letter asking him to go to the headquarters of the Fengjun Army stationed in Tianjin to talk. Lu Jianzhang believes that he is the current general, an old-timer of the Beiyang faction, and he is in the headquarters of the Feng Army, so he has no doubt that someone will kill him. He went as promised, Xu Shuzheng kindly invited him to the garden secret room to talk, and when he walked into the garden, his guards were blocked out. At this time, he still did not think badly.

But when he saw a few guards of Xu Shuzheng, armed with short guns, pouring into the park, everything understood. He stared at Xu Shuzheng and said, "Deputy Commander Xu, I am a member of the state, and you have neither the presidential decree nor the authorization of the Congress, why do you want to arrest me?" This incident will not be stopped! At this moment, he still didn't expect that this time Xu didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he was going to be sentenced to death.

Xu Shuzheng smiled and said, "I don't have a handicap, but I have a pistol." He shouted to the guards: "Lu Jianzhang, as a member of the state, colluded with the party and had bad intentions. I was ordered by the President to shoot him on the spot as an example! ”

When Lu Jianzhang heard this, he knew that a catastrophe was coming, and before he could answer, a guard shot him from behind and killed him.

Speaking from the heart, if Lu Jianzhang said that Cao Kun would re-enter the direct line, the Anhui family would lose a main general for no reason, and Gyeonggi would be in danger. Therefore, according to Xu Shuzheng's position, Lu Jianzhang has a way to die, and Xu Shuzheng has the heart to kill. It's just that this practice is very unpopular, but Duan Qirui and others did not expect.

After the killing of Lu, Xu Shuzheng instructed Fang Shu, secretary general of the Yuan, to draw up an order from a long-distance telephone call, asking Feng Guozhang to cover and print the full text of the order as follows: "According to Zhang Huaizhi, Ni Sichong, Chen Shufan, Lu Yongxiang, and others, it was reported that Lu Jianzhang was in Anhui and Shaanxi, colluding with bandits, inciting the army, and hoping to advocate chaos. According to the Prime Minister's transmission, according to the telegram of Xu Shuzheng, deputy commander of the Feng Army, Lu Jianzhang traveled from Shanghai to Tianjin, returned to the battalion to instigate, and was shot and executed. As an officer, Lu Jianzhang dared to incite the army everywhere and collude with bandits, and according to the regulations on punishing bandits, he should immediately be brought to justice. Now that he has been executed, he will be stripped of the Order of Military Rank and Medal to show the Code. ”

He is not very stupid, and he also knows that using the name of "Deputy Commander of the Feng Army" to generate electricity is intended to pull the Feng Department into this muddy water.

Feng Guozhang was frightened, and refused to stamp that day, but he felt that he was also in danger, and finally stamped the watch on the 16th. On the surface, Xu Shuzheng had the upper hand, and all parties reacted to the matter in a low-key manner. It's just that this move broke the unspoken rules of the political arena in the early years of the Republic of China: no matter how different the political views of the two hostile sides were, they stopped when they went into the opposition, and few people were directly physically attackers---- and later Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and others were all like this.

Feng Yuxiang was Lu Jianzhang's nephew, and after hearing the news of his uncle's death, he was unusually calm, quietly accepted the "award" made by the presidential palace to comfort him, and volunteered to be transferred to Fujian to attack the Guangdong Protector Army.

In fact, Feng Yuxiang has found out the real cause of Lu Jianzhang's death, as Lu Jianzhang's nephew and son-in-law, he naturally can't forget this family feud and the grace of support---- Lu Jianzhang is Feng Yuxiang's old boss. However, before waiting for the opportunity to attack Xu Shuzheng, he must first save his life, because now that the Anhui system is powerful, he understands the truth of "Shen Sheng dies inside, and heavy ears are outside". He applied for a remote transfer to Fujian, but it was not to stay away from the land of right and wrong.

The assassination incident caused Xu Shuzheng to be questioned by many parties, and his reputation was greatly damaged. also provoked the hatred between the Anhui lineage, especially Xu Shuzheng and Feng Yuxiang on the periphery of the direct lineage, and brought new seeds of discord to the two lines; Although the Feng Department failed to divide Zhiwan as he wished, through the hands of Xu Shuzheng, he knocked out Lu Jianzhang, a strong reinforcement from Meng Enyuan in Jilin, which had all the benefits and no disadvantages for Zhang Zuolin.

The sequelae caused by this assassination have already put Duan Qirui on fire, and now he has no heart to pursue the matter of Feng Jun's seizure of his arms! Because Zhang Zuolin, in order to remove internal and external doubts about Lu Jianzhang's death in the Fengjun garrison, he ordered Yang Yuting to be removed from his post as chief of general staff outside the Fengjun and replaced it with Zhang Zuoxiang on the grounds that Yang Yuting was trapped in the "assassination gate" and that he had ineffective control over the Fengjun outside the Guan.

Zhang Zuoxiang also concurrently served as the head of the "Assassination Gate" investigation team, and at the same time suggested that the Beiyang government should remove Xu Shuzheng from his post as deputy commander-in-chief of the Guanwai Participating Army ---- Zhifeng Allied Army, and successfully transferred this powder cartridge.

Yang Yuting lost power, and Zhang Hanqing was the most proud person. Among the three major factions of the Lao Feng faction, Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang all support themselves, and now the biggest obstacle on the way forward is that they are in trouble, so it is no wonder that Xiao Zhang is not polite. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "The two positions of General Staff and Chief of Staff in the Overseer have some overlapping responsibilities, such as a senior general like Yang Yuting serving as the deputy of the Overseer, and the General Staff is in high power, if this person's ambition is inflated, it is not difficult to overthrow the Overseer." Therefore, I think it would be better to have no more posts in the General Senate in the future. Considering the particularity of the army, it is enough for the superintendent to make decisions on major military matters, the chief of staff to assign tasks, and generally to handle matters by the subordinate divisions. ”

Zhang Zuolin hated Wu and Wu, and wanted to agree with this idea, but there were still many trivial matters to deal with in the Overseer's Administration, and Zhang Zuoxiang spent more energy on controlling the divisions under his command for him. Zhang Dashuai, who is in the midst of his life, does not have so much time to deal with trivial matters.

In this regard, Zhang Hanqing took a step back: "Then at least civilian officials must be used, as long as they reach that position, military generals will inevitably cause dissent, and it is easier to threaten." ”

When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he secretly thought in his heart for a while, and suddenly shook his head and said: "You have to be capable and loyal, is it possible for you to do this position?" ”

Hey, that's exactly what Zhang Hanqing thought!
