At this time, the Marshal's Mansion is divided into a large green building, a small green building, and two sets of three-entry courtyards. Among them, Daqing Building is mainly the place where Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Xueliang work and live.

Xiaoqinglou, also known as Miss Building, is the residence of Zhang Zuolin's favorite fifth aunt, Taishou and daughters.

Today, Zhang Xueliang works in the easternmost office on the second floor of the Daqing Building. Zhang Xueliang looked at the loyal and honest iron egg in front of him, and then took the letter handed over by the adjutant.

Slowly opening the letter, Zhang Xueliang's brows furrowed. Li Tie's writing is really not good, but the general meaning is clear, that is, he got a message by chance.

The Japanese plotted to assassinate Zhang Zuolin in the next two months, the news came from Japan, which was absolutely reliable, and asked Zhang Xueliang to tell his father that he must be careful of the assassination of the Japanese.

Zhang Xueliang smiled in his heart, this little brother Li Tie really heard that the wind is rain, and there are many people who want to assassinate his father, but it will definitely not be Japanese.

These days, they are very close to the Japanese, and they are counting on their father to give them more mines and factories.

Besides, if the Japanese really dared to assassinate their father, they were not afraid of causing the Northeast Army to retaliate, and with their less than 20,000 men and horses in the Northeast, and the weapons and equipment of the Northeast Army were weaker than the Japanese army, they could destroy them in minutes.

Zhang Xueliang received the letter and told Tie Dan to go back and thank Li Tie for him, the letter had been received, and he would be careful. Zhang Xueliang arranged for the adjutant to go to the account office to withdraw a hundred yuan, which was regarded as an errand fee for Tie Dan.

The task of the iron egg has been completed, so naturally there is no reason to stay in the Shuai Mansion. Tie Dan immediately left the Shuai Mansion and returned to the Tianfang Grain Store, where he still had to explain some important things to the master.

Before coming, the young master had confessed. Don't rush back to Shanghai after delivering the letter, just stay in Fengtian, first, to finish the work arranged by the young master, and second, the young master will soon go north. At that time, the master and servant will have to do something.

Zhang Xueliang watched Tie Dan leave, took Li Tie's letter and read it several times, and finally thought about it and went to the lower courtyard to find his father who was offering incense in Guan Gongtang, and showed Li Tie's letter to Zhang Zuolin.

After reading Li Tie's secret letter, Zhang Zuolin nodded and said in appreciation: "Little Liuzi, you have made a good friend, the Japanese want to deal with me, I already know." ”

"Ah, how is that possible?" Zhang Xueliang didn't expect that what Li Tie said was true, and found that his father really knew that the Japanese were going to assassinate him.

"Not only the Japanese wanted to deal with me, but also the Soviets. There are no eternal friends in the world, only eternal interests.

Let's talk about the Soviet Union first, the Japanese made me withdraw the right to exploit and use the railway line, and it was nothing more than an attempt to expel the Soviet forces from the Northeast. But the USSR would not easily admit defeat. The best thing they can do is to kill me.

As for the Japanese, a few years ago, the Japanese supported me and instigated me to become independent, in order to annex me better and more conveniently, do you think they are really so kind? Help me for free?

That little mineral in our northeast is so worthy of their support for me? They fell in love with the land of our northeast. Japan is just an island country, and they have coveted China for many years. From the first day of the day to the present, I have always had the heart to destroy my China. ”

"If they dare, they are also worthy?" Zhang Xueliang shouted excitedly when he heard his father's explanation.

"It's not a question of worthiness, it's a question of whether you can or not. Just because they won't be able to swallow China for a while. That's when I thought about annexing the Northeast first, but with me in the Northeast, the Northeast Army can be twisted into a rope, and he can't eat it for a while.

Throughout history, from ancient times to the present, in China and abroad, the most effective means to annex a country is nothing more than to first let it have internal strife. With me in the Northeast, naturally there will be no chaos.

But if I leave one day, can you control the Northeast? Not to mention that our army is divided into two factions, the old and the new, and your uncles have their own faction, plus the forces that are leaning down to me in various places, you can control it?

What's more, as long as I die, our army will inevitably be torn apart, not to mention that the Japanese will have a chance. In the same way, can the Nationalist Government not take the opportunity to attack us?

You know, a few days ago, we just let the Nationalist Government defeat it. Now I'm thinking about whether it's necessary to stick to the line of Beijing and Tianjin, but if it doesn't work, we will take the initiative to withdraw to Guannai, and they won't be able to hit Guannai anyway, so I will continue to be my king of the Northeast.

Just because of the situation of the National Revolutionary Army's internal and external troubles, coupled with their nature of fighting for power, as long as I hold on for three or two years, they will not attack themselves. Maybe then I will be able to wave my army south and unify China with all my might. Now, even if we escape back to the gate, it's only temporary. ”

"That's our strategic shift, I don't want to fight with them, if they really dare to attack the Northeast, the child is willing to go to the front line in person, teach them a lesson, and let them know the history of our Northeast Army." Zhang Xueliang still has a bit of backbone.

"My son is really a tiger father and no dog, and it just so happens that you are here, so I will leave the way back to you in case something happens to me."

"Father, don't say such bad things." Zhang Xueliang hurriedly stopped his father from saying such ominous words.

"If a few words could kill your father, then your father would have gone to the west long ago. I think that when I booby-trapped Du Lisan, I swore that if I lied to him, I would break his body into ten thousand pieces.

But now, decades later, I still haven't lived well. Those so-called oaths are all deceiving honest people, if you want to gain a foothold in the current China, you must remember the key to black hands, ruthless hearts, and thick skin.

Otherwise, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later. Look at you, pouting, don't you believe me? There is a day that you regret. ”

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's unconvinced look, Zhang Zuolin reprimanded his son and continued: "Our Northeast Army is mainly divided into two factions and four parts.

The two factions are the old school and the new school, among which the old school is dominated by Zhang Zuoxiang, Tang Yulin, Zhang Haipeng, Yu Zhishan, and Wang Yongjiang, and these five people are divided into two parts.

The first two were the team that started with me, and the last three were joined by me little by little after I rose through the ranks. But people are old people, and many of them are brothers with me. They can only fight with feelings, and they are not capable of fighting.

The new school was originally dominated by Guo Songling and Yang Yuting. And the two represent the local military academy and the army military academy that returned from studying in Japan, so they are also called the local school and the foreign school.

But Guo Songling rebelled three years ago and was killed, and although you pleaded for mercy at the time, I still killed him. And I deliberately sent a message saying that Yang Yuting urged me to kill Guo Songling.

The purpose is to make Yang Yuting's foreign faction discord with the Tu faction, and you will naturally become the new leader of the Tu faction. So if I have an accident, you must remember to hold on to the old brothers, and they will definitely support you in carrying on my seal.

Because they don't agree with each other, whoever is the commander is not convinced by each other, and the Tu faction is now your descendant, so they will fully support you in power.

As for the foreign faction, you don't have to worry, the other three factions have already agreed, and they only have to accept their fate. Besides, if the people who killed me were really Japanese, that would be even better, even these foreign officers would not oppose your ruling power.

Therefore, as long as I die unexpectedly, whether the Japanese killed me or not, you have to put this hat on their heads, not only because they are the most suspicious, but because only in this way can you better take over the Northeast Army. Speaking of this, Zhang Zuolin smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Why did I let you be the instructor of the Northeast Lecture Martial Arts Hall, the same reason as Chiang Kai-shek was the principal of the Huangpu Military Academy, it is to establish your prestige in the army, and at the same time cultivate confidants for you. It is also so that you can take over my class smoothly in the future and lay a foundation for you. ”

Zhang Xueliang didn't expect that his father had already arranged so many pioneers in order to make his succession smoothly. No wonder he was promoted by his father to the Northeast Lecture Hall as an instructor just a few days after he became a soldier.

No wonder, Guo Songling rebelled, and his father asked him to surrender, thinking about the conditions that only Guo Songling was arrested at that time, who went to quell the rebellion was not an immediate success.

In addition, he had just led the troops, and his father let him take the most elite troops to suppress bandits in the northeast. Back then, I always thought that my father was overkill. With so many elite soldiers and so many machine guns and artillery, even a fool can win the battle.

In this way, in the end, if it wasn't for my father's use of the radical method, he would not have led the troops to suppress the bandits. Now I know my father's good intentions.

In this way, I am still much worse than the older generation. It seems that I have to build my own staff team quickly, or I have to ask the older generation of uncles for advice every time I have a situation, which is too embarrassing.

Seeing Zhang Xueliang's suddenly enlightened expression, Zhang Zuolin was also relieved and continued to educate his son: "The so-called way of the emperor is nothing more than the way of employing people and the way of balance. The so-called way of employing the army is nothing more than strict discipline and clear rewards and punishments. Little Sixth Son, these are the last two words that the Father will teach you, you must remember.

In addition, I also have a strategy that you can use at the last minute, that is, once the Japanese are in a hurry, you will declare your attachment to the Nationalist Government, so that you can not only occupy the reputation of righteousness, but also get the recognition of the Nationalist Government, and you can also get a status that others can't get.

In this way, even if the Japanese want to get involved in the Northeast, they will not do such a stupid thing unless they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard's gall. One more thing you have to remember is never to trust Chiang Kai-shek, who was not talented in military affairs, but he was a rare genius in politics. In my opinion, there are hundreds of heroes in China now, and he is the only one who can truly unify China.

So you can be close to him, but you can't trust him too much. I see that his Northern Expedition has annexed many forces in the past two years, which can be described as unique, even if he is a father, he is not as good as himself. Fortunately, I am not as cunning as he is, but I can guarantee that I will not be fooled by him.

This person's only weakness is that he is a great success, and if you want to deal with him, you must use your brains in this area, and the rest of the methods will not work. You have to keep it in mind. Zhang Zuolin analyzed everything very thoroughly.

"Yes, the boy remembers." After Zhang Xueliang finished teaching, he said goodbye and left.
