Fengtian, the autumn breeze is cool, but the marshal's mansion is hot.

Zhang Zuolin put on the military uniform that had just been transported from the south and proudly gestured at the high-level meeting of the Feng army. turned around, smiled and said to Zhang Xueliang, "Damn, this coat is sturdy and warm to wear, much better than the big padded jacket that Lao Tzu wore in the old forest." That's a good job, six sons! ”

With this batch of military uniforms, the Feng army is not afraid of the cold winter, and can even start a battle in winter. Winter is coming, many of the north are frozen, the shipping route of Dalian Port is still unimpeded, and the weapons and materials ordered by Zhang Xueliang from the south are really being shipped one after another.

The Japanese knew about the deal, and they controlled the important ports in the northeast, but they couldn't find anything wrong, and the two sides signed a normal commercial contract without any strings attached.

Fengtian's industrial level is still very backward, far from reaching the level before the 918 Incident in history, compared with expensive Japanese goods, Zhang Zuolin hopes to buy more cost-effective Guangzhou goods. In fact, there are more and more ships traveling between Tohoku and Japan.

"The southerners are cunning, they have been developing the military industry, selling weapons to us and profiting from it. We must speed up the development of the arms industry, otherwise we will always be in a situation of being controlled by others. ”

Zhang Xueliang analyzed, with a heroic face, and when he talked about the south, his expression was a little dignified. In the past two years, he has not only been to Guangzhou for inspection, but also to South China, where the south is engaged in iron smelting, and the military industry is leading the country, and it can produce its own rifles, machine guns, and small and medium-caliber cannons.

In addition to Mukden, Lu Yongxiang and other forces also purchased weapons from the Ishii Arsenal. This shows that the scale of Guangzhou's military industry has developed to a rather terrifying scale.

"That makes sense." Zhang Zuolin nodded, very satisfied with his son's appearance. These words went to his heart, he is not an ordinary reckless man, his vision and means are first-class, otherwise he can't compete with Wu Peifu many times.

"Dashuai, what ability do the southerners have, they can't fight a war, don't you have to look at us in Beiyang? When we defeat Wu Peifu and enter the Central Plains, this world will be our army. As long as you give the order. I immediately swung my army south. ”

A general of the Feng army coaxed angrily, he was tall, he drank a little wine, his face was red, and his tone was not small. At first glance, there is still a bit of Sven, dignified, his name is Zhang Zongchang. Among this group of awe-inspiring bandits, they are also the old bandits who are ranked first.

If his name were to be spoken, Situ Nan would definitely scoff: in history, the dog meat general Zhang Zongchang couldn't read big characters, so he relied on some cleverness to be proud for a while, but he was actually a big straw bag!

Zhang Zongchang's big straw bag does not learn skills, and the reason why Zhang Zuolin values it. Mainly because he had several thousand White Russian mercenaries under his command.

After the Red and White Russian War, a large number of White Russians went into exile in the Northeast and came under the command of Zhang Zongchang. It also brought heavy weapons such as armored trains from Russia, which is unique in the country.

Against the Chinese troops, these lost dogs immediately became proud soldiers, and Zhang Zongchang's status in the Feng army also rose.

Zhang Zongchang's words were very much in line with Zhang Zuolin's appetite, and the old bandits of the Feng army also smiled, looking like "what they said was". Gulp down. Eat meat in large pieces, and enjoy it.

Since the Ming Dynasty, it was the northern army that fought to the south, and during the Xinhai period, the Beiyang soldiers had been pressing the southern revolutionary army, if Yuan Shikai had not to deal with the Qing court, the southern revolution would have been suppressed long ago.

Looking at the country, in addition to the Zhi Gong Party in Liangguang and those guarding dogs in Sichuan. Which army did not evolve from the North Seas?

The old bandits who felt that they were strong and strong did not look down on the army of the distant south, and their target was Wu Peifu. Zhang Zuolin himself only hoped that Wu Peifu's attention would be distracted by the army of Liangguang, and did not expect Chen Jiongming to make much contribution.

"Damn, now that Lu Yongxiang hasn't started to fight, Duan Qirui also hopes that we will make some noise so that we can share the pressure on Lu Yongxiang. What do you say? ”

After Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, he swept his eyes, and saw the eager expressions on the faces of the brothers, but his face was calm.

Now he and Wu Peifu are the only ones who can compete for the world. That guy Cao Kun has been thrown home in disgrace, and now it's time to make a sound from Fengtian.

"I have to support it, I can't let Lu Yongxiang fall too fast. If he falls, it will be even harder for us to deal with the immediate family. ”

The old and steady Zhang Zuoxiang said.

Zhang Zuolin nodded, and then looked at Zhang Jinghui, Li Jinglin, Tang Yulin, Zhang Zongchang and other old bandits with encouragement, as well as Yang Yuting, Guo Songling and other new-school generals who have risen in the past two years.

How can everyone not know Zhang Dashuai's thoughts? Isn't it just going to send troops? Zhang Zuolin is the commander of the first army, and the atmosphere will be better when this is said by the generals below.

"Cao Kun is an unpopular cloth dealer, why should he be president? Dashuai asks for the people's lives and leads everyone into Beijing! ”

"yes, Erlang can't wait...... With the smell of wine, everyone's pride came up, and they all shouted that they would go south to crusade against Wu Peifu.

Zhang Zuolin's face gradually smiled, his eyes were burning, and his eyes were shining with ambition, as if the world of flowers in Guannai had opened up to him.

After the meeting ended, the Zhang family father and son stayed in the study to continue the secret discussion. Zhang Xueliang was still thinking about the affairs of Guangzhou, and he was a little absent-minded.

The adjutant walked in, walked up to Zhang Xueliang's ear and whispered, handing him a telegram.

Zhang Xueliang looked at it, and the word "to the north" was written on it, and his face was happy.

The telegram was sent by Lin Yimin from Guangzhou, and Zhang Xueliang made an appointment with him, and the north was the south and decided to join this anti-direct code.

"Little Liuzi, what's the matter? See what you like. Zhang Zuolin wondered.

"The news from Guangzhou, they agreed to join, so that at least part of Wu Peifu's troops can be involved, so that we can let go of it."

Zhang Xueliang said a little excitedly.

"Damn it! Count them in acquaintance! Zhang Zuolin smiled, patted his thigh, and immediately calmed down, and the excitement on his face disappeared instantly.

The key to this battle is still in the north. You have to rely on your fists to speak, Guangzhou is far away in the sky, although these days there is a rumor of the Northern Expedition, who knows if there will be thunder and rain? It is estimated that it will depend on the progress of the war in the north and then wait for the opportunity to pick up some small gains, but it is also a good thing that they are willing to join.

Zhang Zuolin did not realize the ambitions of the Guangzhou government, but regarded them as thieves who tried to take advantage of the fire, and he couldn't help but be angry and despise them.

Zhang Xueliang faintly felt that something was wrong, and thought that if he was to serve directly, he would lose both. Will Guangzhou take advantage of it in the end?

But do they have what it takes to pick up the bargain? Wu Peifu has a solid business in Central China, and he has a large number of soldiers, so he will not let Guangzhou fight lightly.

Since the Republic of China, the Guangzhou regime has been self-contained and has never belonged to the Beiyang system.

After the Guangdong-Guizhou War, Sun Wen, who was causing trouble everywhere, was "squeezed out", and the Liangguang strategy moved southward, and he no longer participated in the warlord struggle in the north. Under the banner of inter-provincial autonomy, it focuses on its own industrial construction, and overseas trade, especially with the Nanyang Chinese forces with Nanhua as the core, immigrating to Nanyang and industrial construction. Although the momentum is not small, compared with the huge China, the influence is basically no more than the Yangtze River, naturally not as good as Feng Zhang, and even less than Wu Peifu, who is in the sky.

Zhang Xueliang shook his head. I feel like I'm a little worried. After all, Guangzhou and Fengtian are too far apart, and the energy of Meihua Company is not something that the immature Zhang Xueliang can figure out.

"Sixth son, this time it's a big deal, you have to show yourself well, you can't let me down." Zhang Zuolin said earnestly. This trip south is a test for Zhang Xueliang. He was ready to let Zhang Xueliang lead the army alone, and put the elite soldiers of the Feng Department under Zhang Xueliang's command, and the intention of cultivating a successor was very obvious.

The fiasco two years ago made Zhang Zuolin realize the importance of regularizing the army, and after returning to the northeast, he worked hard to manage the army, made great efforts to regularize and reform the army, opened a military academy, and introduced Japanese military adviser training. After cultivating a large number of outstanding lower-level officers, Fengjun now has the demeanor of a strong army in the world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xueliang's face turned slightly red, and he felt a little confident.

He is now Chief of Staff of the Army Consolidation Office of the Three Eastern Provinces and Supervisor of the Aviation Department. The Army Consolidation Department was responsible for the regularization and reform of the army, and it was a very important position, from which a large number of young officers benefited, and gradually formed a non-commissioned officer department headed by Zhang Xueliang and his teacher Guo Songling.

The rise of these young Zhuang factions aroused the jealousy of the elders in the army, but Zhang Zuolin had already handed over the 27th Division to Zhang Xueliang, and the position of Zhang Xueliang's successor was unshakable, and they were helpless.

"Father, don't worry!" Zhang Xueliang said firmly, and after the father and son explained a few words, Zhang Xueliang went out.

"This kid!" Zhang Zuolin touched his bright head, looked at his son's tall and firm back, and his eyes were full of relief.

"Wu Peifu, I must make you look good this time!" Zhang Zuolin's eyes were sharp, and he was ready to let Wu Peifu die without a place to be buried!

On September 3, Zhang Zuolin sent a telegram condemning Cao and Wu (i.e., the direct line) for attacking Zhejiang, and in the name of aiding Lu Yongxiang, he organized the "Zhenwei Army", appointed himself commander-in-chief, and organized the Feng Army into 6 armies; With a total force of about 150,000 troops, they marched to Yuguan (i.e., Shanhaiguan), Chifeng, and Chengde on September 15, and the Second Zhifeng War broke out.

Wu Peifu, who had been waiting for a long time, also fought-for-tat and led the main force to fight. The two armies fought bloody battles along the Great Wall of Shanhaiguan, and the sound of aircraft and artillery never stopped, and the soldiers on both sides fought selflessly, staining the Great Wall with blood.

Compared with the war in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, where there was free time to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner, and entertainment programs every day, the brutal and bloody Cheng Dù of the Great War was the most of the civil war.

The Feng army is no longer the rabble of two years ago, the new officers have risen, a large number of military talents have joined, and the refined weapons purchased from Guangzhou, Japan and other places, the Feng army has burst out with great combat effectiveness, and under the command of Zhang Xueliang and Guo Songling, it has broken through the nine gates in one fell swoop, and the Great Wall defense line of the direct army has been hit a big gap.

"What? Nine gates lost? …… Take it back at any cost! Wu Peifu roared into the phone.

Put down the phone, took a sharp breath of cold air, after all, he was a veteran of the battlefield, he immediately calmed down, felt that the situation was serious, and decided to personally lead the army to help.

Originally, in his plan, the direct army took advantage of its naval superiority to cross the Bohai Sea from the sea, landed behind the Feng army, cut off the retreat of the Feng army, and dealt a severe blow to the Feng army as it did two years ago, and even annihilated them, and drove into the northeast, and the goal of unifying China by force was almost achieved.

The plan was quite good, but the British jumped out against it, and the Japanese had a gloomy face, "You can try it"

The cross-sea battle plan had to be abandoned.

It seems that the Bohai Bay does not belong to China, and he, who has the central power, can't give full play to the advantages of the navy? Wu Peifu thought of this, gritted his teeth with hatred, felt sad, and secretly scolded: "It's all a raccoon dog!" ”

"Commander, the news in Beijing is not peaceful! Zhi Lao is very active! A staff officer reminded.

Zhi Lao is Duan Qirui, relying on the old and selling the old, the direct line is powerful, and the losers such as Duan Qirui of the Anhui system are unwilling, and they make small moves in Tianjin and organize an anti-direct alliance, how can Wu Peifu not know.

"I have my own arrangements, and they can't make any big waves." Wu Peifu said confidently.

In Cao Ying's heart in Han, Feng Yuxiang's anti-bone boy had already been transferred away by Wu Peifu, with Hu Jingyi by his side and Sun Yue stationed in Beijing.

Sun Yue is Cao Kun's confidant, and he should not oppose him. Hu Jingyi and Feng Yuxiang have a grudge, Feng Yuxiang wants to turn against the water, and Hu Jingyi beckons him, but he can't turn the sky over after all.

Wu Peifu thought confidently that he was naturally clever about how to be a general.

Now the Feng army is attacking and the direct army is defending, and it is in a favorable position, and the casualties should be small. Although the cross-sea battle plan was aborted, the defensive counterattack strategy was also good. After surviving the first few attacks of the Feng army, the Feng army will rest if it cannot attack for a long time, and then organize the army to counterattack, and a good show of chasing the dead and chasing the north will definitely be staged.

Wu Peifu squinted, and the confidence of victory spread on his face: the army under his command was indeed the first-class in China, and he was very confident in this.

But things are often unexpected, just when Wu Peifu was surprised, with the help of someone with a heart, Feng Yuxiang and Hu Jingyi, who had a gap in their hearts, gradually came together, and Sun Yue, the commander of the Beijing garrison who was relied on as a close confidant, would also make a "just" decision.

In the golden autumn of September, it rained a little in Guangzhou, which was a little chilly.

Song Meiling lived in the Situ Mansion, looking like a hostess. Her arrival made Situ Nan's heart flutter and he was excited, but it always took some brewing to overthrow the sacred image in his mind.

"This rain came at the right time, and the atmosphere of the Northern Expedition, which was in a uproar, calmed down a little. Charging and exploding, waiting for the opportunity to move, like the thunder of the nine heavens, the protagonist should be the last to appear. ”

Situ Nan raised his wine glass, shook it gently, and took a sip on the bright lip prints on the wine glass.

"Dead!" Song Meiling sneered, looking at Situ Nan's aftertaste, her face was a little ashamed. "Now that public opinion is boiling, don't you send troops?"

looked at Situ Nan expectantly, and his eyes glowed. Now that the war in the north is stalemate, although the direct department has deployed a lot of troops in Hunan and Hubei, the shape is undoubtedly very beneficial to Guangzhou, maybe it can be achieved overnight?

"I'm here to watch the play, and the general is responsible for the fighting, killing, and killing." Situ Nan smiled, grabbed a pair of jade hands, and stared at the heroic and charming face of the woman in front of him, which was not very beautiful, but it was very attractive, and there was a feeling of time and space.

"You cunning thing, we all help you work?"

Song Meiling smiled, looking at the well-defined face in front of her, from his somewhat confused eyes, Song Meiling always felt that it was a hazy feeling that she had never understood, very peculiar, as if she was hiding this layer of sorrow, close at hand but far away in the sky, she had never seen this kind of look in the eyes of other men.
