Chapter 345: Restoration Farce

Gao Xiaoshan ran to Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin only thought that he was still ready to buy more arms, but after meeting, Lao Zhang understood what was going on, and people dared to collect debts, and asked Fengjun to hand over all the arms to the pigtail army as soon as possible.

Gao Xiaoshan spent more than 3 million yuan and handed over a large area of grassland, and was originally happily waiting for the munitions, but Zhang Tinglan only handed him 5,000 rifles, not a single bullet, there were guns without bullets, it was completely a burning stick, and only 10,000 grenades were handed over, and 10 pieces of 41-type mountain guns were given, and other machine gun mortars were not given at all.

When he first returned to Rehe, Gao Xiaoshan kept boasting to Zhang Xun that he had bought many good things, how good the arms of the Feng army were, and Zhang Xun was also very happy, just when he was waiting for the arms, Li Yuanhong and Duan Qirui had a complete falling out, Duan Qirui left Tianjin, preparing to set up another government, this is a big thing, Zhang Xun can not help but pay attention.

At this time, Duan Qirui's subordinates suddenly sent an invitation to Zhang Xun, hoping that he could come forward and mediate the dispute between the government and the court. When Zhang Xun heard the news, he was overjoyed.

Don't look at Zhang Xungui as a patrol envoy in Mongolia, but he has long been disgusted with this place where birds don't, and Zhang Xun still has a different kind of mind in his heart. For a long time, Zhang Xun regarded himself as a loyal minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his troops all had whips, and a large group of old and young people were buzzing around him, such as Kang Youwei and others, and they were in frequent contact, and they have always been thieves.

Since the democratic republican system can't be played, it is better to return to the emperor's autocracy, Yuan Shikai can't be the emperor, then let the little emperor Puyi be restored, Zhang Xun gradually came up with this idea in his heart. And this time Duan Qirui hinted that he came forward to mediate, which gave Zhang Xun a God-given opportunity. The commander immediately became active.

Whether it is to mediate the conflict or to restore the imperial system, it needs strength, Zhang Xun has soldiers in his hands, but the weapons are seriously insufficient, at this time Zhang Xun remembered the arms of Fengtian.

As a result, when he saw that only a little thing was delivered, Zhang Xun was furious on the spot, these things added up to less than one million yuan, and the price of buying it was not low, but it was tricked by others. The commander was going crazy, and Gao Xiaoshan could only run to Fengtian with a rolling belt to beg for other arms.

After listening to Gao Xiaoshan's narration, Lao Zhang secretly applauded Zhang Tinglan in his heart, and the two of them slaughtered people. has never been soft, Lao Zhang knocked Li Yuanhong hard. At first, he complained that Zhang Xun was cheaper. As a result, I only now figured out that Zhang Tinglan's ruthless hand is behind, and he collected the money, but he didn't deliver the goods, isn't this a white wolf with empty gloves, and the pit people don't bring such pits!

Lao Zhang deliberately pretended to be angry. After looking for Zhang Tinglan, Lao Zhang Hu turned on his face and deliberately said angrily: "Humble words, how did you get it." We pay the most attention to honesty in business, why haven't the arms been handed over? ”

Zhang Tinglan was calm and calm, not in a hurry at all, and said with a smile: "Marshal, I think Mr. Gao has misunderstood, Fengjun has always done things in strict accordance with the contract, without any fault." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Tinglan said to Gao Xiaoshan again: "Mr. Gao, the Fengtian arms you bought are different from the arms you got from the foreigners, the foreigners ship the finished products over and can be delivered directly, and our Fengtian arms are to be re-produced, which I know very clearly with you, it will take at least two months to deliver." And you haven't used mortars and other weapons before, and I asked you to send people over to learn how to operate, and the personnel are stepping up training, and now I'll hand over the weapons to you, is it useful? ”

Facing Zhang Tinglan's questioning, Gao Xiaoshan was dumbfounded all of a sudden, the agreement is indeed so, and he has nothing to say, but now the situation has changed abruptly, and the pigtail army urgently needs to enter Beijing, what can they do without weapons!

Gao Xiaoshan was so anxious that he turned around on the ground, sweating on his head, he knew Zhang Xun's mind very well, this time such a good opportunity, if it was lost in vain because of the weapon, Zhang Xun could peel off his skin.

"Yu Shuai, no matter how you think of a way, we must get the arms as soon as possible!"

Zhang Zuolin glanced at Zhang Tinglan, and said in his heart How to sing this scene, or you come, Zhang Tinglan also nodded and said: "Mr. Gao, if you have to get the arms in advance, it's not impossible!" ”

"What do you want to do, I will agree to any conditions!"

"Then it can only be transferred from the active equipment of the Feng army, but this will affect the combat effectiveness of the Feng army, and you will pay another 1.5 million early pick-up fee!"

Zhang Tinglan lightly asked for another 1.5 million, Gao Xiaoshan felt a burst of pain, peeked at Zhang Zuolin, hoping that this Yushuai could come forward to say something and pay less money, but at this time, Zhang Zuolin was drinking tea in the presence of the old god, and he didn't even blink his eyes.

Gao Xiaoshan had no choice, he could only nod and agree after thinking about it, Zhang Tinglan immediately asked Gao Xiaoshan to hand over 1 million rounds of ammunition, 20 mortars, 40 light and heavy machine guns, 10 Krupp guns, and some shells, as well as 30,000 grenades.

There is still a lot of distance before all the deliveries, especially Zhang Tinglan only gave one million rounds of ammunition, which is even more seriously insufficient, but he has finally got a lot of things, and Gao Xiaoshan can only go back to recover his life as soon as possible.

sent him away, Lao Zhang's face was full of smiles: "Humble words, you have done a good job in this business, damn it, and knocked Zhang Xun for 1.5 million, I'm afraid that Zhang Xun's family will be hollowed out all at once!" ”

"Dashuai, don't you see that I still have a batch of bullets and shells, these things can still extort a lot of money from Zhang Xun at a critical moment!"

"Still blackmailing?" Lao Zhang also looked surprised: "Zhang Xun's family has been hollowed out, how much money can he come up with?" ”

"Marshal, next time I'm afraid I won't have to pay for Zhang Xun, what do you want Zhang Xun to do when he is so anxious to ask for arms?"

Zhang Zuolin's brain is also turning fast, there is no big war on the border now, Zhang Xun is so anxious to ask for arms, then there is only one purpose, that is, he wants to get involved in the battle between the government and the court. Lao Zhang also understood Zhang Tinglan's plan in an instant, no matter how Zhang Xun tossed, as long as Feng Jun had the vital arms in his hand, Zhang Xun would do everything possible to raise funds and send them to Feng Jun's pocket obediently, as for how the money came from, I really don't care.

"Humble words, Li Bodhisattva sent someone to invite us, that Zhang Xun must have been invited by Duan Qirui, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the old Duan gourd? Zhang Xun is not a peaceful figure, I heard that he is surrounded by a lot of Manchu relics, and recently he often said that the Republic of China is more chaotic than the Manchu Dynasty, it is better to return to the Manchu Dynasty, the world can be peaceful and so on, such a person in Beijing, I am afraid that it will cause a big trouble. ”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded yes, Zhang Xun's restoration is undoubtedly a farce, but whether there is a push behind this farce is very doubtful, otherwise, with Zhang Xun's ability, can he easily lead the army into Beijing, how many obstacles and checkpoints along the way, now it seems that it is very likely that Lao Duan deliberately let him go, let Zhang Xun enter Beijing to make a scene, and drive Li Yuanhong away, and then Lao Duan will appear as a savior and clean up the mess.

As the saying goes, if you don't break it, you can't stand it, Duan Qirui is preparing to completely ruin the political situation since the Republic of China, and then reshape it according to his own ideas, and Zhang Xun is a pathetic chess piece.

After thinking about this, Zhang Tinglan felt a little sorry for Zhang Xun, of course, this was just a temporary thought, and he would definitely not be polite when he should start.

"Dashuai, I think Duan Qirui may have done it on purpose, recruiting Zhang Xun, the king of trouble, to Beijing, just to want the world to be in chaos, and then he Duan Qirui will come out to clean up the old mountains and rivers."

Lao Zhang thought for a while, nodded, and then asked, "Humble words, what do you think we should do?" ”

"Dashuai according to me, Zhang Xun is finished, it is also a good thing for us, it is equivalent to the road to the northwest expansion has been opened, but the task of cleaning up the mess cannot only be handed over to Duan Qirui, our Fengjun must also participate, one is to gain fame, the other is to get actual benefits, there are many factories in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and there are many workers, as many as they can get, they can get as much as they want, and Rehe must be in their hands, so that the security situation in Fengtian can be greatly improved."

For a leader, the most important thing is to know the proportions of advance and retreat, what can be fought for, what cannot be fought for, what is to be done with life, and what is dispensable.

The Middle East Road is something that must be fought for, for which the Fengjun can bet on his life and his life, and Rehe is related to the grand strategy of the development of the Fengjun, which cannot but be in his hands, and industrial strength is the capital of the Fengjun to settle down, which is indispensable, as for the seemingly very tempting Beiyang power, it is a dispensable thing, and it is still a chronic poison.

"Clumsy words, how should the Feng army deal with it, you and your neighbor Ge will come up with a charter together."

Fengjun's secret transfer was immediately launched, and at this time, Zhang Xun suddenly issued a telegram in Rehe, announcing that he would lead the army into Beijing to mediate the dispute between the government and the court, this telegram can be described as a stone to stir up a thousand waves, large and small warlords are staring at Premier Duan and Li Bodhisattva's fighting methods, and now they are halfway to kill a Cheng biting gold, and the big guys can't help but guess where things will develop.

Li Yuanhong was also a little confused by the second monk, he invited Zhang Zuolin, the old Zhang Lion opened his mouth and asked for such a high price, but the Fengjun did not move, but Zhang Xun, who had nothing to do with them, jumped out, and the situation in front of him became more and more weird, and Li Yuanhong could only wait and see what happened.

Zhang Xun was in high spirits, personally led 8,000 pigtailed troops as the vanguard troops, and went to Beijing City in a mighty way, all the way unimpeded, all the local defenders were not embarrassed at all, Zhang Xun successfully rushed to Beijing City.

However, after the commander arrived in the capital, he did something unexpected, he went straight to the Forbidden City and kowtowed to the little emperor Pu Yi to say hello, and the official president Li Yuanhong was left aside. (To be continued......)
