……”

In the tavern, the storyteller did not talk about the Three Kingdoms, the Eastern and Western Han Dynasty, and the Water Margin Journey to the West, but became a political commentator. After reading the above things, he said to all the audience: "Everyone, everyone understands, this is how many benefits were promised to the Japanese in the "Sino-Japanese Alliance" signed by Sun Wen and the Japanese, everyone has heard it, this thing is much more powerful than President Yuan's 21 articles, in a word, if you sign this thing, the country will be finished, and we are all slaves of the Japanese!" ”

The storyteller shook his head and sighed, and said: "As the saying goes, it is difficult to draw a dragon and a tiger, and it is difficult to draw a dragon. There is a way that Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors, and when Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp, everyone in this world has countless masks, tearing one open, and another one, not Zuihou, it is really difficult to distinguish the authenticity. Take Sun Wen as an example, for so many years, which time has opened his mouth, not for the country and the people, and which time for not benevolence, righteousness and morality, but no matter how nice he says, it is better to see what he has done. ”

"Sir, do you think this Sun Wen can be so mad, according to this covenant, won't he become the son emperor of the Japanese?"

The storyteller smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip unhurriedly. Then he said: "The emperor is also an emperor, it's better than nothing now." Speaking of which, isn't it for the sake of fighting for power and profit, and besides, people have families in Japan, and if they have a Japanese daughter-in-law, even if they are Japanese sons-in-law, there is nothing wrong with facing their father-in-law! ”

"Sir, what you said is too bad, a son-in-law is half a son, don't you still say that people are emperors?"

The audience below all burst into laughter. Chinese wine, rice and tea shop. These things are said all over the place. After all, some things are so exciting that people can't help but pay attention to them.

After breaking through the city of Guangzhou, a large number of Japanese munitions were found, one rifle after another, and one artillery piece after another. They were all transported in front of the people of Guangzhou, and everyone could see it clearly. No one can deny it.

In addition to arms. A large number of correspondence documents were discovered one after another, and with Feng Yong, they arrested a large number of KMT members and took out a large number of useful things from their mouths. How did Sun Wen make friends with Japanese dignitaries, how did he have a family in Japan, and how much Japanese aid he received in total.

In addition to collusion with foreign countries, a large number of domestic problems have been revealed. For example, who killed Tao Chengzhang, the leader of the Restoration Society that year, who killed the famous journalist Huang Yuanyong, and even some cases of Song Jiaoren and Chen Qimei have been found suspicious.

Originally these assassinations, these struggles. At that time, it was the focus of controversy among the people, Lao Yuan was bent on expanding his power, and even ascended the throne as an emperor, but his character stinked, so all problems were pushed to him, and Lao Yuan became speechless.

But now that these terrible things have been revealed, everyone is thinking about it, it turns out that Sun Wen may not be a thing than Yuan Shikai, if Lao Yuan has some villain behavior, then Sun Wen is a complete hypocrite, what a lackey!

With the disclosure of correspondence and documents, coupled with the confessions of KMT members, more and more evidence points to Sun Wen, the former leader of the revolutionary party, the halo shrouded in his body has been completely shattered, and the people's trust in him has become lower and lower, and even the KMT has a tendency to become a rat crossing the street.

The members who originally joined the Kuomintang all took the initiative to quit, otherwise the contemptuous gaze around them would make people want to burrow into the cracks of the ground. Not only in China, but even overseas has successively appeared a lot of propaganda unfavorable to Sun Wen, especially among overseas Chinese, setting off a monstrous wave.

At the beginning, in order to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese provided Sun Wen with a lot of financial assistance, but a lot of money was not clear. Tao Chengzhang accused Sun Wen of being greedy for donations, and Zuihou Sun Wen was annoyed and angry, so he sent someone to assassinate Tao Chengzhang.

There are also many overseas Chinese who question Sun Wen, but they have no evidence, so not many people are convinced, but now it is different, the evidence is in front of you, and you can't help but believe it.

In the future, it will be very difficult for the KMT to use overseas as a base, and then to raise donations on a large scale, and then fool young people into joining them. This propaganda war is tantamount to cutting off the roots of the Kuomintang from home and abroad, and it cannot be said that it is ruthless and resolute in its action.

Feng Yong's tasks have also been completed, and those key criminals of the Kuomintang, as well as the evidence of seizure, have also been temporarily handed over to Wu Peifu. How to interrogate, it all depends on the meaning of Beiyang, after all, for so many years, Beiyang has carried a lot of infamy for the Kuomintang, and now that there is a chance to get it back, Wu Peifu should not be soft!

Of course, Zhang Tinglan still had to fulfill his promise to provide arms and weapons to these warlords in the south, but this kind of thing no longer needed Feng Yong and them to take care of, so all the Feng troops left Guangzhou and rushed back to Fengtian as quickly as possible.

Although the dispatch of troops was limited this time, it also greatly tempered the team, especially those engineers, enriched the combat experience of different terrains, and was of considerable help to the future actions of the Feng army.

Zhang Tinglan personally led a team to welcome Feng Yong and others back, and after meeting, Feng Yong sent a check to Zhang Tinglan.

"Dashuai, this is the five million military funds given by the Japanese to Sun Wen, but Sun Wen was captured by us before he could squander it, how to deal with it, please decide Dashuai."

Feng Yong said and sent the check to Zhang Tinglan, of course, they seized not only the check, but also a large number of weapons. These weapons were different from the standard of the Feng army, and the Feng army did not look down on the tatters of the Japanese, so they simply left them all to Beiyang.

Zhang Tinglan took the check and nodded slightly: "This money can't be wasted, then invest it in Yanchang Mine, we can't just import oil from the United States, we should also learn to refine oil ourselves." The petrochemical industry has been developed. ”

When Feng Yong heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Dashuai, I have long been looking forward to producing oil by myself, and now there are more and more Air Force aircraft, and the daily training consumption alone is a considerable amount, and it will definitely not work just by buying it." ”

"That's right, Feng Yuxiang has entered the northwest, and our personnel have followed up. It is believed that the oil problem will be solved in the near future. ”

Although Sun Wen was not caught, nor did he kill him, at least he stinked, and this had already achieved its goal. The KMT is in the future power map. It is already difficult to occupy a place, and a huge hidden danger has been cut off. Of course, Zhang Tinglan was very happy.

"Ladies and gentlemen. The KMT's shili has been largely eliminated, and even if there is a chance to make a comeback, it will be a long time. We must seize the rare opportunities at home and abroad to develop well and lay a solid foundation. Liliang is urgently needed. ”

Zhang Tinglan is already arranging the next task, in terms of the army, the Feng army needs large-scale redressing and training, and completely build a modern army. On the economic side. The main task is to consolidate the industrial foundation and increase production capacity, and Zhang Tinglan has set a goal, that is, within three years, in the field of iron and steel and other major industrial products, to reach 60 percent of the Japanese.

Japan has gone through decades of accumulation since the Meiji Restoration, and it is still very difficult to surpass it easily. But Japan is an island nation with a fatal resource shortfall and must rely on a lifeline at sea. In wartime, it is possible to seize the neck of the Japanese and hang little Japan by attacking the sea routes.

Of course, there is a premise for this, that is, the industrial production capacity of the Feng army must reach 60 percent of the Japanese, otherwise it will be difficult for the Feng army to gain the upper hand in a war of attrition at sea.

From nothing in the past, to the present, although the Japanese are still far ahead, but the Feng army can already see their backs, this change makes the Feng army particularly excited.

This celebration banquet also became extraordinarily lively, almost everyone was drunk, even Jiang Baili, who usually didn't drink much, was drunk, and the entire Shuai Mansion was full of laughter.

After a few days, Zhang Tinglan finally recovered a trace of spirit, and Yang Yuting came to him: "Humble words, doesn't it feel like a hangover?" ”

"Indeed, I have a terrible headache, I hope that my neighbor can send me some good news, otherwise my head will hurt even more!"

"A good thing, a guaranteed good thing!" Yang Yuting hahadaxiao said: "Feng Yuxiang has news from his side, his troops have entered Gansu, just a few days ago, just wiped out a group of local armed forces, more than 2,000 people, won a good start. ”

"Yes, I didn't expect Feng Yuxiang's knife to be quite sharp, did he have any requirements?"

Yang Yuting smiled: "He didn't say what he wanted in the telegram, but in my opinion, he still wants arms." He had mentioned the threat of cavalry from the Majia Army in the northwest more than once, so give him some machine guns, this thing is the easiest thing to slaughter cavalry. ”

Zhang Tinglan has always been very concerned about the northwest, since the end of the Qing Dynasty, the central government has basically lost control of the northwest, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the local ethnic and religious shili are entangled together, and it has become a mess.

However, the northwest has a decisive value in the entire Chinese strategic chessboard, and Zhang Tinglan certainly looks forward to quickly resolving this trouble.

After Feng Yuxiang led his men and horses into the northwest, of course, it aroused the vigilance of Ma Jiajun, but they did not dare to take any drastic actions, after all, on the surface, they still had to respect the appointment of the central government, but in secret, they also kept in touch to discuss ways to deal with Feng Yuxiang.

Ma Jiajun's actions naturally can't be hidden from Feng Yuxiang, he has the support of Fengjun behind him, so he naturally won't be afraid of Ma Jiajun's turtles. After arriving in Lanzhou, Feng Yuxiang's first order was a gun ban, and the northwest should strengthen public security and confiscate all illegal guns and weapons.

At the beginning of the Tongzhi rebellion, the reason why the Han people lost so much was because the Han people did not have a tradition of hiding weapons privately, so they were slaughtered. Feng Yuxiang's first order was to ban guns, in order to prevent the recurrence of such a tragedy.

Obviously, this policy immediately poked at the sore spot of the Ma Jiajun, more than two-thirds of their troops were not regular troops, but only local militia groups. These militia groups do not pay their salaries in normal times, and they will only distribute them when they have fought and grabbed the spoils of war.

As a result, these militias tend to be more belligerent and insane than the regular army. Feng Yuxiang's gun ban was slashed at these militia groups with a single knife, and once accepted, the militia group was directly abolished, which Ma Jiajun could not accept no matter what.

It's just that they still don't know the details of Feng Yuxiang, so they didn't jump out to oppose Feng Yuxiang rashly, but instigated a relatively small shili and let them take the lead in opposing it. Who knew that Feng Yuxiang was also ruthless, and directly sent the army over to wipe out all this group of people, more than 2,000 people, and not a single person was left alive.

When Ma Jiajun sent people to take a look, only the corpses were left, and there were many vicious wolves tearing them, and there were stumps and broken legs everywhere, like hell. Rao is accustomed to seeing life and death Ma Jiajun, and he also felt a burst of scalp explosion.

Since this conflict, the contradiction between Ma Jiajun and Feng Yuxiang has become more and more serious, and both sides are actively deploying troops and dispatching generals, and there is a great need to fight for the death.

"Fight early than late, fight better than small, let Feng Yuxiang let go of his hands and feet, no matter how much he consumes, I will make up for him!"

When Yang Yuting heard this, he said with a smile: "Humble words, being so generous to Feng Yuxiang doesn't look like your style?" ”

"I have to be like this, the pace of our outfit is getting faster and faster, the next step is that the army uses a lot of vehicles, and the navy and air force also consume a lot of fuel, if you can't produce it yourself, just rely on imports, not only is the price expensive, but once it comes to wartime, it is easy to be cut off, once you are pinched, this taste is not pleasant."

"Well, it's really far-sighted, but you can't just give Feng Yuxiang something, this guy has also surrendered a lot of people, and he is a complete anti-bone boy. We should send a corps of officers over and teach them the use of new weapons in name and secretly control this force. ”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded in agreement immediately, and the northwest issue finally had some eyebrows, and he only hoped that he could quickly flatten the Ma Jiajun and eliminate the hidden danger of splitting.

Just after Zhang Tinglan finished arranging, Tao Jiping came to the Shuai Mansion with a spring breeze on his face, as soon as he met, he said with a smile: "Dashuai, we have newly developed a tank, using a 45 mm caliber main gun, the weight has exceeded 13 tons, the overall performance has made great progress compared with the previous tank, after my observation, compared with the surrounding countries, this tank has an overwhelming advantage, and can become a new generation of iron fist." ”

The tank is known as the king of land warfare, and it is also a weapon that Zhang Tinglan pays the most attention to, and now that there is a new breakthrough, he is also overjoyed!

"Minister Tao, let's go and see the actual situation first, it's a mule or a horse, take it out and yo-yo, if it's really good, prepare for a large-scale change." (To be continued......)
