The reason why Zhang Zuolin risked Feng Delin to death but did not take the opportunity to sweep away the stolen goods and insisted on giving a piece of the pie to Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan was not because he was afraid of looking ugly, but because he heard that the situation was unfavorable to him.

His enthusiasm for being appointed as a general and patrol envoy of Sheng Wu had not passed, but he heard bad news. It turned out that Yuan Shikai, who was good at strategy, how could he rest assured that he would hand over the entire Fengtian to him alone? What's more, Lao Zhang's recent performance also made him a little frightened, and expressed serious anxiety. Feng Delin is no longer in his eyes, but he can still play a role in Zhang Zuolin. Now because of a small section, he has taken the line of promoting Zhang and suppressing Feng, but it does not mean that he will increase Zhang Zuolin's status uncontrollably.

The four powerful figures in Fengtian are the two division commanders Zhang Zuolin and Feng Delin, as well as the two town guards Ma Longtan and Wu Junsheng.

Wu Junsheng was originally used by Yuan Shikai as the third way to balance the forces of Feng and Zhang, and served as the guard of Taoliao Town and the commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade. Although the power is inferior to Feng and Zhang, the military ranks are all lieutenant generals. Yuan Shikai's use of Wu Junsheng and the rising status and prestige of Wu have long aroused Zhang Zuolin's suspicions.

Speaking of which, the two later generations of Feng officials are still very suspicious at this time, although they are both Zhang Zuolin's first brothers: Ma Longtan is the eldest brother, and Wu Jun is promoted to the second brother.

After the Russo-Japanese War, Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, in order to solve the traitorous Mongolian bandit Tao Ke Taoming, requisitioned Zhang Zuolin into Liaoyuan, and suppressed the bandits together with Wu Junsheng and others, who were also the commanders of the patrol battalion. Wu Junsheng entered the military circle earlier than Zhang Zuolin, and he was stationed in Zhengjiatun for many years, so he regarded himself as the boss and did not take Zhang Zuolin in his eyes, so he was very disgusted by Zhang Zuolin's arrival and adopted a discriminatory attitude.

At the beginning, Wu Junsheng did not allow Zhang Zuolin's troops to enter the city and camp. During the rainy season, Zhang Zuolin's patrol camp had difficulties in food and lodging, and after negotiations, Wu Junsheng reluctantly agreed to enter the city, but he still set up obstacles in all aspects and made things difficult in every way. Zhang Zuolin was new to the city, and he wanted to get close to Wu Junsheng, so he came to visit in person, but he was unexpectedly treated coldly.

Wu Junsheng said to Zhang with ulterior motives at the reception banquet for Zhang Zuolin: "Well, well, it's good that you're here this time!" This bandit has always bullied and insulted the soldiers, I, Wu Xingquan, have been ordered to suppress the bandits for many years, but the results are not great, and a lot of blood is shed, hmm, hmm, it's better for you to come! Between his words, he mocked Zhang Zuolin, who was born in the green forest. Wu Junsheng also knowingly asked Zhang Zuolin when he was appeased in front of everyone, which made Zhang Zuolin very embarrassed and embarrassed. However, Zhang Zuolin is a veteran of the rivers and lakes, so he still suppressed his anger and laughed to socialize, so that the reception banquet did not fall out.

However, in that battle to suppress bandits, Zhang Zuolin was a blockbuster, and he won the victory in chasing and suppressing the Mongolian rebels and won the Qing court's commendation. Zhang Zuolin, who returned triumphantly, is no longer the Zhang Zuolin who was ridiculed by Wu Junsheng a year ago. In order to give up his previous suspicions and make friends, Wu Junsheng repeatedly asked to see him, but was rejected by Zhang Zuolin. In the end, it was Wu Junsheng who eliminated a variety of "difficulties", and showed weakness in Daolin Sword, and the two were tied.

The last incident that caused the difference in the status of the two men occurred after the Wuchang Uprising, when the struggle between revolution and counter-revolution in Fengtian City became increasingly acute. The revolutionaries in Mukden secretly discussed independence, and promoted Lan Tianwei, the commander of the Second Mixed Association of the Army, as the governor of the prefecture, and Wu Jinglian, director of the Fengtian Consultative Bureau, as the chief of civil affairs, and wanted to expel Zhao Erxun, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and declare the independence of the three eastern provinces. After Zhao heard the news, he felt isolated and helpless, and wanted to recruit foreign troops to defend himself, "or Zhang Zuolin and Wu Junsheng, the commander of the rear patrol team, were loyal and brave, so they urgently called him." ”

At this time, Zhang Zuolin was supervising the suppression of the southern area of Zitao, and immediately after receiving the news, he led the cavalry of the department to gallop south in the starry night, and in less than three days, he reached Fengtian, and the rest of the people followed, that is, he was stationed in the city, and Jin Daojian, the commander of the patrol in the middle of the road, replaced him. As a result, both horses and infantry armies were in control.

Wu Junsheng was hesitant to get the telegram at the beginning, so he ordered his headquarters to set off the next morning. "Jie Dan, Wu Junsheng has not risen, and there are knights holding stabbing to the clouds: "Commander Zhang led the team to pass here, and he was forced to dare not stay, so he ordered a certain person to come with a thorn and meet in the province." When Wu Junsheng heard this, he was dumbfounded, he was silent for a long time, and he realized that it was a mistake, and sighed and said: "Zhang Gong is also a god!" ”

This statement inevitably has an element of romance, but I am afraid that in Wu Junsheng's heart, Zhang Zuolin is really a magical existence. Anyway, since then, Wu Junsheng has never had any conflict with Zhang Zuolin, but has concentrated on the war to exterminate the Mongolian bandits---- because since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Mongolian forces have always had an immortal will with the support of Japan or Russia, and the intermittent suppression of bandits in the official history did not come to an end until the tenth year of the Republic of China. In terms of time, it is comparable to the War of Resistance.

However, Wu Junsheng's victory in quelling the rebellion against the Ukrainian-Thai rebellion smashed the conspiracy of Tsarist Russia in a historical sense, and maintained the unity of the country and the unity of the nation; From a personal point of view, he is also famous for his courage and good fighting. Some people commented that Wu Chun was a martial artist, who had no political talent, but he was tough by nature, and when he was in actual combat, his combat skills were unsurpassed among the commanders of the Feng army, and his argument was not unfair.

Just a month ago, Duan Zhigui planned to let Wu Junsheng serve as the envoy of Dongmeng Town again, although the result was driven away by Xiao Duan, but Zhang Zuolin kept an eye on it. In order not to be controlled by Wu Junsheng, Zhang Zuolin recommended Ma Long Tan as the envoy of the Eastern Dao Town to contain Wu Junsheng and skillfully won Yuan Shikai's move. Ma Long Tan is Zhang Zuolin's brother, the same age as Feng Delin, a pure soldier, and has no ambition for politics, which is one of the reasons why Zhang Zuolin is relatively relieved of him and strongly supports him to take the throne.

In Zhang Zuolin's mind, one of his 27th divisions, plus the newly built 10 battalions, was more than enough to completely resist the 28th division; There is a Ma Long Tan on his side, but Wu Junsheng and Feng Delin have never urinated into a pot, and their advantage is in themselves. This is also one of the important reasons why he dared to extend his black hand to Feng Delin.

However, Wu Junsheng's self-confidence inevitably swelled, and he secretly discussed with Ma Longtan, the town guard of Dongbian Province, in the provincial wall: "During the tenure of General Zhen'an (Duan Zhigui), the authority of the two of us was slightly divided between the two of us and the general. Although General Sheng Wu is a superintendent, he is also a full-time official appointed by the central government, and the town envoy class is not under General Sheng Wu, so there is no need to use the words 'Cheng, Yu' and other reasons in the future. ”

After all, Ma Long Tan was supported by Zhang Zuolin, so he told Zhang Zuolin the original words. Zhang Zuolin was furious and said: "Wu Xingquan, who is a mother, also wants to be on an equal footing with me!" I can't move Feng Delin, but it's not that I can't move you! "In terms of official position, he is the governor, and Feng Delin is the deputy in the assistant, so he really can't do anything, but Wu Junsheng is just a town guard.

Zhang Hanqing knew that this Wu Junsheng was one of the powerful ties in the history, and he now had two hearts, and he was also there. It's not that as soon as your old Zhang Wangba's anger arrives, everyone will obey you and serve you as the king, right? No matter how much you are the supervisor of Fengtian, you are only a lieutenant general and division commander, and you can't have a personal influence on Lao Wu, because you are also a local magistrate of the Central Committee.

He said euphemistically: "This is Wu Zhenshou envoy tempting his father, but he has the capital now." If his father is him, then push him to Assistant Feng's side, which is probably in line with Old Feng's intentions, right? After all, not spending a penny weakens the power of the father! My father often admired Liu Bang, saying that he was a prankster but achieved great things, but do you remember what he did when he was threatened by his general Han Xin at the critical juncture of the Chu-Han dispute? ”

This is a well-known event in history.

At that time, Liu Bang was not fully healed from the arrow wound shot by Xiang Yu, and it happened that Liu Bang was unsuccessful in surviving Zhong Liyi, but was forced to retreat by Xiang Yu's counterattack, and he was too busy to take care of himself, hoping that Han Xin could support him. Han Xin took the opportunity to send an envoy to ask to be the "fake king of Qi". The so-called "fake" means agency.

Liu Bang read Han Xin's letter and resented the twins, and scolded in front of the messenger: "I was trapped in Guangwu by Xiang Yu, and I was looking forward to you Han Xin to come to the rescue day and night, but not only did you not come, but you wanted to set yourself up as the king, which is really unreasonable!" Fortunately, Zhang Liang and Chen Ping were relatively calm, and hurriedly stepped on Liu Bang's foot, and whispered to him: "Now the situation is very unfavorable to us, how can we not let Han Xin establish himself as the king?" It is better to take this opportunity to fulfill him, make him king, treat him well, and let him defend the Qi country. Otherwise, I'm afraid that something will happen, and it will be even more unfavorable to us. ”

Liu Bang is such a clever person, he suddenly realized, replied with disgust, and changed his words and scolded: "The husband has conquered so many territories and cities in the south and the north, if you want to be a king, you must be a real king, why should you be a fake king?" It's really unproductive! Liu Bang scolded and scolded and changed the meaning of his words, he first scolded Han Xin for not being righteous and taking credit for the king, and then became a scolding Han Xin for being unproductive, and he should be the king of Qi. Because Liu Bang was improvised, to the ears of Han Xin's messenger, Liu Bang's words sounded angry, but they seemed to be angry for Han Xin.

Later, Han Xin sent troops, and only then did he ambush on all sides, only then did he have the siege of Yuanxia, only then did he have Wujiang to kill himself, and only then did he have the Han family in the world for 800 years.

"I guess someone drugged Wu Junsheng, just to make his father's side unable to control the table. If Wu Junsheng is not chaotic, Ma Longtan has a bad relationship with his father, and Feng Delin alone is definitely not his father's opponent. Therefore, give some good things appropriately, so that the two of them will not turn against each other and walk together with Feng Delin. Moreover, my father is ambitious, and there will not be too many helpers, if I can cage those two in my hands, my father can be regarded as sitting firmly in Fengtian Province. ”

That's why Zhang Zuolin pressed Feng Delin to share the spoils.

money, Zhang Zuolin took half of it in the name of the provincial treasury; The rest was also given to Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan. For this kind of good thing that fell from the world, Wu and Ma were grateful, and their admiration for Zhang Zuolin was really as continuous as the waves of the river. If you have milk, you are a mother, so it doesn't matter if you divide things from Feng Delin or not, it is in line with the morality of the rivers and lakes.

It's still Lao Zhang Zhanyi, for such a big thing as driving Duan, he didn't get any benefits from it, and he didn't even get involved in the arms that the martial artists liked the most, so he really let the other three families divide it equally! So in Wu Junsheng's heart, Zhang Zuolin's evaluation of "being able to achieve great things" came spontaneously, which also made him first maintain the idea of "not favoring Feng Delin" in the later struggle between Feng and Zhang. Maybe for Lao Zhang, this is a surprise.

Now Lao Zhang's heart is full of joy!
