Shang Zhen still came to the Northland in the end, if he continued to stay on Yan Xishan's side, not to mention that the idea of exerting his ambitions could not be realized, it would be enough to be depressed, and the taste of being excluded by others would not be pleasant.

Shang Zhen went to the society in his early years, and after all kinds of experience, Wen Taowu did not lag behind.

After having to take refuge in Yan Xishan, the reason why he has been running for ten years, running before and after the saddle, is just for the unforgettable grace of the encounter.

However, in terms of his nature, everything is controlled by others and unwilling, Shang Zhen is a capable person after all, and it is inevitable to look for opportunities to seek independence.

However, having the ability is only a condition for success, and Shang Zhen does not have the qualities that a politician should have.

As early as when he was acting as the commander of Suiyuan, Shang Zhen made an attempt.

In view of the bad habits of poor quality and outdated consciousness cultivated by the Jin army after a long period of non-fighting, and for the sake of future development, Shang Zhen founded the Suiyuan Military and Political School in Guisui in a short period of time, and served as the principal of himself. The school enrolled more than 200 students in the first phase.

During his tenure as chairman of Hebei Province, Shang Zhen began to show centrifugal tendencies with Yan Xishan: first, he moved the original Suiyuan Military and Political School to the Huangsi Temple in Beiping, renamed the Hezhibei Military and Political School, and hired seniors with expertise to teach at a high salary to expand enrollment; and set up a mentor in Nanyuan to train the backbone of the army; It has also set up a party affairs training institute and a training academy for cadres to prepare cadres.

At the same time, he also secretly purchased a batch of firearms through Zhang Xueliang, and actively prepared to set up a division by himself at an appropriate time.

However, Shang Zhen's approach was somewhat naïve in comparison with the complex political situation at the time.

He failed to see that the current national reunification is only superficial and is only the result of political compromise between various political forces, and that the Nationalist Government will not and cannot completely change the relative independence of various power groups.

In this situation, his chairman of Hezhibei Province is essentially Yan Xishan's share of the political struggle between various groups, that is to say, he still belongs to Yan Xishan's sphere of influence, and Yan Xishan will not turn a blind eye to his attempts at independence.

Just when Shang Zhen was intoxicated with the bright prospect of getting rid of Yan Xishan's fetters, on August 10, 1929, a "transfer order" changed him from the chairman of Hezhibei Province to the chairman of Shanxi Province.

The transfer of Shang Zhen to the chairmanship of Shanxi Province was a trump card made by Yan Xishan, who quietly put Shang Zhen under his nose and completely nullified Shang Zhen's efforts in the past period.

However, on the other hand, it became a turning point in the relationship between Yan and Shang, which eventually led to the departure of Shang Zhen from Shanxi in later generations.

After more than a year of painstaking operation in Hebei, the political, military, and economic foundations have been laid, and the sudden transfer, Shang Zhen only had the share of bowing down, and Yan Xishan's energy and influence should not be underestimated.

After returning to the west of the mountain, although Shang Zhen was still the provincial chairman, he fell into the dilemma of having no power at the beginning, and all he had to do was to "stamp and accompany the guests".

After the Central Plains War, before Yan Xishan left Dalian, he instructed Xu Yongchang and Yang Aiyuan to be the chief and deputy commanders of the Jinsui Garrison Command to be responsible for the aftermath of Shanxi, and Shang Zhen was left aside.

The army in the west of the mountain was reorganized, and although Shang Zhen was appointed commander of the 32nd Army, he was increasingly isolated.

The two brigades of Gao Hongwen and Huang Guanghua of Feng Pengzhuo's division of the 32nd Army were the old divisions of Shang Zhen, and before the army reorganization was completed, Zhang Xueliang was not paid, and all units were maintained by depreciation.

Shang Zhen did his best to provide cash subsidies to the two brigades, and the generals were unhappy, and Yan's descendants such as Wang Jingguo and Sun Chu expressed great dissatisfaction and were very antagonistic.

Shang Zhen knew that the contradictions were difficult to reconcile, so he simply made the problem superficial, first proposing that the provincial government committee approve the dismissal of the village administration office personally appointed by Yan Xishan, and then immediately removed 25 county magistrates at one time.

In this way, public opinion was in an uproar, and it finally turned into a Taiyuan military and civilian expulsion conference, on the shore of Wenying Lake, the group condemned, and the military circles also brewed at the same time to expel businessmen. The situation in which Shang Zhen could not be tolerated in Shanxi's military and political circles was thus formed.

In the later life, Shang Zhen took the opportunity to leave, but the situation in this life was disturbed by the Sealed Heaven, and Shang Zhen never had the opportunity to get out of Yan Xishan's control.

At this time, Shang Zhen, who was nearly fifty years old, became more and more calm, and his ambition may have worn out a lot.

After Yan Xishan talked to him about this matter, Shang Zhen thought about it for a few days, and finally made up his mind.

After all, the Fengtian of the Northland is now in full swing and well-known in the world, and its achievements are obvious to all.

Especially in this crisis, it can be said that the crisis in the north is surrounded by all sides, and it is impossible for Shang Zhen not to pay attention to it, but even if it is such a situation, Fengtian can deal with it freely.

Although Shang Zhen knew that Feng Tian's age was not too old, he was still surprised when he met.

It seems that a person's success does not depend on his age, and it is not easy for Feng Tian to create such an achievement at the age of less than thirty.

"General Shang, welcome to join the Northland Volunteer Army, I have admired the name for a long time, and I look forward to your arrival soon." When they met, Feng Tian and Shang Zhen warmly shook hands and welcomed them.

"I'm ashamed, compared to General Feng, Shang is nothing, and he has achieved nothing so far. There are a lot of talents in the Northland, I'm afraid that people like me can't help General Feng with a lot of help, right? "Shang Zhen is self-aware, people are polite, and he praises himself for two sentences, but don't take it seriously.

Feng Tian smiled slightly and said, "General Shang, we don't need to say anything politely, let's go straight to the point." As you know, the Northland Volunteers have recently regained lost territory, and the Green Province in the North is already under the name of our army, and the construction of the Green Province must be on the agenda. I don't lack anything here, but I lack talent, hehe. ”

"Green Province? Oh, I see, General Feng changed the name there. Since Shang has decided to join General Feng's command, he will definitely obey the dispatch, as long as he is able, he will go all out. At this time, Shang Zhen probably understood the meaning of Feng Tian, and I am afraid that he would be appointed as the post of Green Province.

Feng Tian smiled with satisfaction, since Shang Zhen is willing, there are some things that can be explained: "General Shang, Green Province is the first territory of the Northland Volunteers, I hope that Green Province will become a template and set an example for future cities, and urban construction must aim at the world's most advanced level, comfortable, reasonable and with development potential." You have a lot of courage to overcome all the customs and concepts of old China and create a new future. ”

Feng Tian's words were so novel and so inspiring, Shang Zhen suddenly felt a surge of blood, and his mood was lifted: "Commander Feng, but please rest assured, Shang will go all out to devote himself to the construction of the Green Province." ”

It should be said that Shang Zhen was still satisfied with this, at least Feng Tian did not underestimate his ability. (To be continued.) )
