Chapter 133: Descendants

Zhang Hanqing was very aware of this man's ability in history, although he finally betrayed the Feng family and rebelled because he was dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin's attack on the national army, and was later captured and executed because he was outnumbered. However, with the strength of 70,000 people, Zhang Zuolin was beaten to "arrange the matter of peace talks in the lower field and prepare to flee to Dalian, and transported more than 10 cars of gasoline and firewood to the front and back of the building, ready to burn down the Marshal's Mansion at any time." However, under the joint attack of the Japanese, Zhang Zuolin, Wu Junsheng and others, they finally failed, and both husband and wife were shot.

With a person like him who is loyal to the country and does not hesitate to fight for this, under Zhang Hanqing's ideal of unifying the whole country, there should never be rebellion in this time and space.

When the two met, they felt sorry for each other.

Guo Songling was still unsatisfied, seeing that there were more and more students around, and some of the words that had been hidden in his heart for many years were not vomited or unhappy. He warmly invited Zhang Hanqing to sit in his humble house, and Zhang Hanqing happily accepted the invitation.

Zhang Hanqing's studies are the best, and he is the status of a young marshal, and he is arranged by the instructor, so he might as well leave the lecture hall freely at noon.

Guo Songling's home is in a west wing house in Dadongguan Shui Dustpan Hutong, it seems that life is extremely frugal, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with four walls, I heard that it is still a rented house, which is extremely incommensurate with the identity of their husband and wife, and it also touched Zhang Hanqing a lot. Doesn't he get that much salary every month, as for it!

In recent years, it is really rare for a high-ranking officer to really be able to lead his troops like a son, and just because he is willing to live on such conditions and does not forget state affairs, we can believe that he is loyal to the country. To build a new-style army, only by being able to share weal and woe with the soldiers can be considered a good commander, at this point, Guo Songling is definitely qualified, Zhang Hanqing thought to himself. When employing people by yourself, you must solemnly recommend it to Zhang Zuolin, at least this knowledge of people is not running. I believe that under his own efforts to be simple, Lao Guo will also do his best.

"I heard that my sister-in-law is a heroine, but I finally saw it today, and Xueliang was very relieved!" He slapped Guo Songling's wife on the back.

When mentioning Guo Songling, it is impossible not to mention his wife Han Shuxiu. Han graduated from the Fengtian Women's Normal School as a teacher at the attached elementary school, joined the Fengtian YMCA as a student, and actively participated in progressive activities, and her home was a stronghold of the activities. Han Shuxiu, who has always regarded the rise and fall of the country and the nation as her own responsibility, has always worked hard for national education. She once taught the students in the martial arts hall to teach the principles of conduct; Yan Baohang, a patriot, founded a school for poor children, and she became a school director and taught it herself. In order to raise funds for the opening of the school for poor children, Han Shuxiu appealed in the society and raised 20,000 yuan, and she also donated her own savings. In order to express their gratitude, the poor children, under the leadership of the principal, sent a plaque of "Promoting Education and Cultivating Talents" to her home. This plaque is now hanging on the opposite side of the main house.

After the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution, people of insight in Fengtian rose up one after another to respond to the Wuchang Uprising, and Guo Songling was one of the organizers. The two of them met at Han Shuxiu's home, and Han Shuxiu admired Guo Songling's personality and talent very much. Guo Songling was arrested during the White Terror, the authorities posted a notice sentencing Guo to death, and Han Shuxiu went around to rescue him. On December 25, 1912, when Guo Songling and others were taken to the barren grassland killing field outside Daximen for execution, Han Shuxiu held a copy of the "Shengjing Daily" of the day and shouted: "Keep people under the knife!" "One hundred thousand rushed into the Dharma field. It turned out that the "Edict of the Abdication of the Qing Emperor" had just been cancelled in this newspaper, and Han Shuxiu saved the lives of Guo Songling and others with the news of the sudden change in the political situation at the last moment. The two established a relationship between life and death and became a loving couple.

Adversity sees true love, and the common ideal has made the couple's relationship after marriage last for many years. When she learned that the guest brought by her husband was actually the young marshal of the General's Mansion, Han Shuxiu was surprised---- her husband is not a person who tends to be inflammatory. When she saw that there was no lack of respect and solemnity in her husband's enthusiasm, she was even more surprised.

But when Zhang Hanqing chatted with Guo Songling for a while, she knew that it was time to respect this young marshal.

For the first time after the crossing, he had a common language with others, and it happened that Guo Songling was also a master with great wisdom and big thoughts, and Zhang Hanqing gave full play to it. He systematically linked the experience and knowledge of his previous life, analyzed in detail the attitudes of Japan, Europe and the United States towards China and the trend of the international situation in the next 10 years, and put forward his own response plan. Frankly speaking, talking on paper is the specialty of the indignant youth in the 21st century: they do not need to deal with trivial and specific affairs in depth, but they can also calmly use the height of people who have come before to look at phenomena that people at that time could not see through, and in addition, they can be regarded as a high-level figure next to him who can be regarded as a famous general of the future generation.

Guo Songling hated to see each other late. He is conceited and knowledgeable, and he is a talented person who strategizes on the battlefield, but he deigns to be this bombastic "teaching craftsman" in the Fengtian Lecture and Martial Arts Hall, and it is rare to meet such an idealistic, educated, visionary, and magnanimous newcomer of the "four haves" as the young marshal.

Zhang Hanqing knows the value of Guo Songling. In the Northeast Army, the characters who can be counted in the future can definitely be regarded as one of the best in front of them. In the military aspect, it can be of great help to yourself. What is rare is that at present, Guo's loyalty is unquestionable, which has been proven by history. Such talents, under the command of the people, why not?

For Han Shuxiu, Zhang Hanqing also showed great respect. At the beginning of the Republic of China, when the status of women was still very low, there was such a woman who had thoughts, vision, ability, and more reliable, he was Guo Songling's wife. For Zhang Hanqing, who lacks talents, every such figure must be caught!

So, the guests and hosts rejoiced.

As a result, the young marshal often talked with Guo Han and his wife about the past and the present, and discussed current affairs.

When Zhang Hanqing shared the concept of building a new Fengjun army with Guo Songling, Guo Songling appreciated it very much and was willing to give it his full support; When Zhang Hanqing confessed to Han Shuxiu the idea of establishing the Fengtian Revolutionary Party and leading the agrarian revolution, the women's liberation movement and the workers' movement in Northeast China, Han Shuxiu, who was very excited, took the initiative to be one of the initiators of the founding of the party and a liaison for the young marshal, and planned to be responsible for the women's movement and trade union work in the future.

Under Zhang Hanqing's strong recommendation, with the banner of the young marshal, Zhang Zuolin may have heard of it a long time ago, which naturally made Guo Songling rise step by step. He was first promoted to lieutenant colonel instructor, and then soon became a part-time senior staff officer in the general's palace.

On paper, I finally feel shallow, and I never know that I have to do it. Zhang Hanqing himself is practicing internal strength, but it does not prevent him from paying attention to the domestic situation. After the funeral of Lao Yuan, the dispute between President Li Yuanhong and Premier Duan Qirui on the governance strategy began to become prominent, and the crisis of Beiyang separatism began to surface. In July, Zhang Xun, the Yangtze River patrol envoy and the overseer of Anhui, appealed to the provincial overseers to prepare to convene a meeting of the superintendents in Xuzhou in September, intending to exert pressure on the central government with the strength of local groups and become the "third pole" outside the direct and Anhui provinces.

This approach was immediately echoed, and all provinces were eye-to-eye, and even Zhang Zuolin decided to join in as a governor. There is no way, in the current situation of strong cadres and weak branches, if you want to make a breakthrough in the Northeast, you must have strong reinforcements. And this Governor Corps, anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is similar to the "Southeast United Protection" of the year.

Zhang Hanqing clearly knows the subsequent national trend, he can be his young marshal without making any action at all, anyway, the rise of the Feng department is a high probability event. But since you have traveled back in time, do you want to be a bystander of the historical process? I know that the "Mandate of Heaven" is still working so hard in the martial arts hall, doesn't it just want to get a better result?

The acquisition of people's hearts and minds cannot be achieved overnight, and the training of a strong army is not a short-term achievement. No matter how hard you train and how good your results are in the martial arts hall, it is not as meaningful as leading an army by yourself. Now that there are many followers around him, if he takes over the throne step by step like in the official history, the meaning of crossing will be greatly reduced. Now is the most turbulent era in the history of Beiyang, which is both a disaster and an opportunity.

Opportunities are all around us.

At the beginning, he cooperated with Zhang Zuolin to deceive Yuan Shikai's arms to expand the new army of 10 battalions, but because he hated Lao Yuan, he has not been able to obtain the official number of the Central Committee, and he has no choice but to turn into Zhang Zuolin's guard. Zhang Zuolin originally had a personal horse team of nearly 1,000 people, and after adding this new force, it became a huge team of 8,000 people. The full 27th Division was only 12,000 people, and so many new troops immediately made the generals who were thirsty for soldiers smell the fishy position.

After Zhang Zuolin stepped down as the commander of the 27th Division, Sun Liechen succeeded him, and Tang Yulin, who was also the brigade commander, wanted to take over this team and then keep pace with Sun Liechen. But Zhang Hanqing tried his best to obstruct it, he thought that Tang Yulin's mind was extremely turbulent after he was deprived of the power to control the secret agent team in the provincial capital, and he had been in charge of the 53rd Brigade for so many years, and it was very uneasy to hand over such an army to him.

In fact, Zhang Hanqing is hiding his selfish intentions, he has long been eyeing this new army, of course he doesn't want others to get involved. On more than one occasion, he proposed to Zhang Zuolin the idea of reorganizing a new army, and often visited Zhang Zuoxiang and Sun Liechen to discuss with them the strategy of reorganizing the army.

Before entering the lecture hall, Zhang Zuolin urged him to give it to a regiment commander who had done a good job, and he didn't want to be a regiment commander. Without him, although it is an army that my father started with, there are too many soldiers, and the resistance to doing things according to his own mind must be unusually great. And the Forces nouvelles are largely unspoiled from top to bottom, and this is a good opportunity.

If these middle- and lower-level officers who have passed the examination and are attached to themselves are placed in the new army, first, it will be convenient for them to better control the army, and second, it will also send a strong signal to all parties: Believe in Hanqing and live forever!
