Zhang Zuolin put forward the idea of suspending military pay for half a year, the color on Duan Zhigui's face changed a few times in an instant, he hoped to get money, but he also knew that those Qiu Eight Masters in the army were not easy to deal with, if they couldn't get military pay for half a year, these people would definitely make trouble, and it would be a question whether they could resist it at that time.

"Yuting, I hastily stopped the military salary, I was afraid that the soldiers would make trouble, this is the New Year again, isn't it a little inappropriate?"

Lao Zhang smiled secretly in his heart, this His Royal Highness Duan was not completely confused, he said with a smile: "The general is right to worry, but Zhang has already borrowed some money from the bank, and some time ago he suppressed the bandits, and found a lot of stolen goods, I can ensure that the ministry will be safe and stable within half a year, and this time is enough for Bixia to exterminate the rebels." ”

Listening to Lao Zhang's assurance, Duan Zhigui's eyes rolled, and he turned around on the ground twice, and then said: "It's rare that Yuting has this thought, I think Bixia will also know your loyalty." ”

After seeing Duan Zhigui's agreement, Zhang Zuolin also said goodbye and left, and he also had to make arrangements, the most important of which was to contact Feng Delin and ask him to jump out and take the initiative to expel Duan Zhigui according to the agreement between the two. Lao Feng was still a little hesitant to be honest at this time, the most important thing was that the battle situation was not clear enough, after all, Yuan Shikai sent a large army south with great momentum, and no one knew whether Cai Ye could win Beiyang or not.

If you act rashly at this time, wait until Lao Yuan cleans up Cai Yi, and turn around and don't trouble yourself! In order to strengthen Feng Delin's determination to reverse the section, Lao Zhang sent Sun Liechen to contact Feng Delin in person to strengthen Feng Delin's confidence.

Just when Lao Zhang was secretly doing something, Duan Zhigui really temporarily deducted Fengjun's military salary, and he deducted not only the 27th Division and the Independent Brigade, but also the 28th Division, as well as Wu Junsheng's cavalry brigade. According to Duan Zhigui's thoughts. Since Zhang Zuolin promised to restrain his subordinates, then all Fengjun is within the scope, after all, he is the governor of Fengtian, but His Royal Highness Duan is wrong, this is just a trap deliberately dug by Lao Zhang.

Duan Zhigui deducted the military salary, the 27th Division and the Independent Brigade were fine, Lao Zhang had already found enough salary, and he didn't care about this money at all, but the soldiers of the 28th Division who were waiting for the rice to be put into the pot didn't do it, and they found Feng Delin one after another.

Lao Feng has already been moved by Sun Liechen's words. Now that the opportunity has finally come, he immediately summoned several of his generals over, Ji Jinchun, Kan Chaoxi, Zhang Haipeng and others sat around Feng Delin.

"A small section will deduct our military salary. Let's talk about it, shall we? ”

"Commander, there's nothing to say. Fuck it. When Duan Zhigui arrived in Mukden, he searched everywhere for the land, he packed his waist full, but he didn't give anyone a share, this kind of bastard should teach him a lesson. ”

Kan Chaoxi was the first to speak, this guy's nickname is Kan Dadao. Martial arts are good at black, and he can be called the first fierce general under Feng Delin, and he is a strong advocate of toughness.

"Commander, I think it's probably not appropriate to use it with Duan Zhigui. Duan Zhigui is not terrible, what is terrible is Emperor Yuan, he has become the emperor, and the strength in his hands is huge, let's find trouble with his godson, I am afraid that Lao Yuan will be dissatisfied. Speaking of this, Zhang Haipeng glanced at Feng Delin, and then said: "Commander, I think Zhang Zuolin didn't have a good heart this time, he encouraged you to do it, just to make you a bird." ”

Feng Delin's face was grim, in fact, he also had this kind of worry, Zhang Zuolin was extremely cunning, it can be seen from the fact that he came from behind and climbed to the throne of the governor, even if Duan Zhigui is expelled, whether he can achieve his goal or not, is still between the two.

Lao Feng couldn't make up his mind, and his subordinates had their own opinions, so he had to set his eyes on Ji Jinchun, hoping that he could come up with an idea.

"Commander, Brother Haipeng's concerns are very reasonable, and Zhang Zuolin should indeed be on guard. It's just that our current situation doesn't allow us to look ahead and backward, even if Yuan Shikai can eliminate Cai Yi, I'm afraid it will take a while, and he doesn't have the energy to manage Fengtian at all. In addition, Zhang Zuolin has already sat on the throne of the governor, if it is delayed for a long time and the position is stabilized, we will not be able to get anything. ”

Ji Jinchun's words all spoke to Feng Delin's heart, it is true, he is already one step behind Zhang Zuolin, if he doesn't take risks and take a step forward, he will never have the day to turn over.

Feng Delin thought about it again, and finally made up his mind to take a risk, he slapped his thigh sharply, and then ordered: "Gather the brothers immediately, let's go to Fengtian to find trouble with Duan Zhigui." ”

Lao Feng gave the order, and the 28th Division was mobilized. In fact, in history, Feng Delin also conspired with Lao Zhang to expel Duan Zhigui, Lao Feng still sang with a black face, and Lao Zhang sang with a red face. However, the slogan is a little different, it was originally more than three months later than now, and at that time, Lao Yuan said that the emperor had already declared defeat, so the slogan shouted by Lao Feng was Fengtian and the people were autonomous and punished the culprits of the imperial system.

Now because the outcome has not yet been determined, Lao Feng just played the banner of asking for salary, and ordered a total of five battalions of the Mabu Army to march towards Fengtian. Feng Delin came to Mukden with the army in a menacing manner, and a storm crisis appeared again.

Due to Lao Zhang's covert cooperation, Feng Delin rushed to the Patrol Embassy Mansion directly with his men and horses, and confronted Duan Zhigui's guards. His Royal Highness Duan had just received Yuan Shikai's commendation at this time, and he was happy in his heart.

Since Cai Ye and others declared independence, the Yunnan army went north to Sichuan and east to Guizhou.

In fact, the battlefield can be fought so smoothly, not that the Dian army can fight, but that the Beiyang Army has all the intention to release the water, the soldiers on the front line saw that the Dian army rushed up, all shot into the sky, and then took the initiative to push the ammunition into the ditch, they ran away, the Beiyang soldiers had no heart to fight, so that Cai Ye picked up a cheap one in vain, and the Dian army fought more and more smoothly, and soon entered the hinterland of Sichuan.

The war soon burned the entire three southwestern provinces, and Lao Yuan was also sad because of the detachment of his subordinates. Coincidentally, at this time, Duan Zhigui offered a military salary to help Lao Yuan suppress bandits, Yuan Shikai was still very happy, it seems that this godson is still good, and Lao Yuan also sent a telegram of commendation.

Duan Zhigui was happy, and suddenly someone reported that Feng Delin rushed to Fengtian with a large number of soldiers and was rushing to his mansion mountain. Duan Zhigui's hands and feet immediately became numb, Duan Zhigui hated and feared these bandit-born guys, and they didn't care about it. can poke a hole in the sky.

"Is Feng Delin crazy? He's going to make trouble? ”

His subordinates were also extremely frightened: "General, they are here to ask for military salaries, saying that if you don't pay military salaries, they will spend the New Year in your marshal's mansion!" ”

As soon as Duan Zhigui heard the buzzing of his head, he became several times bigger, and he shouted to his subordinates: "Go quickly, you guys go to Zhang Zuolin and ask this guy, didn't he promise to pacify the Fengtian army, why did he still come to me for trouble!" ”

Duan Zhigui just sent his men away. At this time, there were bursts of shouting outside the mansion gate, and it was all messy, all of which asked Duan Zhigui to go out to meet. His Royal Highness Duan also knew that it was a blessing or a curse, and that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to come to the gate of the mansion with a hard head.

The gates of the Shuaifu are open. Duan Zhigui walked out under the protection of the guards. He saw Feng Delin in the lead at a glance.

"Master Feng. Do you still have me as a patrol envoy in your eyes, and is there any bixia, you took these people to run outside my house, do you want to rebel? ”

Feng Delin is an old Jianghu, so he will not be frightened by Duan Zhigui's words, and sneered: "General, don't be in a hurry to button your big hat." I'm loyal to Bixia and don't want to rebel either. It's just that I can endure it, and the stomachs of these brothers under my command can't bear it, and everyone is dragging their families and mouths. Fighting with his head in the war, but when it came to the end of the year, he didn't even pay his military salary, what do you say we should do if we change it? ”

"The state is in a difficult situation, and the rebels are still in turmoil, can't you understand the country's difficulties? As long as this period of time passes, Bixia will definitely not treat everyone badly, and give everyone double, no, four times the military salary to make up for everyone's losses. ”

"General, we will wait for the rice to go to the pot now, if according to your words, the brothers would have starved to death a long time ago, and no matter how much military salary you pay, you can only put it on the grave!"

"That's right! What Master Feng said is so right, we want military salaries now, and our wives and children are waiting! ”

After Feng Delin finished speaking, the soldiers under his command also shouted, and the soldiers of the five battalions, more than 2,000 people, all glared angrily at Duan Zhigui.

Duan Zhigui also felt a strong pressure, these people all have guys in their hands, if anyone moves their fingers, they are afraid that their heads will be gone, Duan Zhigui forcibly suppressed his anger and said to Feng Delin: "Division Commander Feng, Zhang Yuting's troops can bear it, and other people's troops can also bear it, but if something happens to your 28th Division, what is your reasoning?" ”

"General, if you put the 28th Division in Mukden, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but unfortunately, we are in that place where birds don't, and the brothers live on this military salary, if you are in arrears, it is equivalent to taking our lives."

While he was talking, a gunshot suddenly sounded behind the ranks of soldiers, Duan Zhigui was still bold, but when he heard this gunshot, he suddenly lost his soul, holding his head in both hands, and squatted on the ground at once, and his guards were all like facing a great enemy, and they raised their guns one after another.

The soldiers of the 28th Division were also unambiguous, and they raised their guns one after another to confront these guards, and the two sides were obviously not an order of magnitude higher. Soon the two sides figured out that this was just a soldier who had gone off the rails and had a false alarm, but Duan Zhigui was also shocked into a cold sweat.

"Senior Commander Feng, I agreed, and I will pay you a military salary, 100,000 yuan."

"You're asking for food, after so many years, you've been in arrears every year, and it's more than a million, so why do you have to send half of it!"

Duan Zhigui gritted his teeth, and then said: "Senior Commander Feng, don't hide it, I have already given the money to Bixia first, these are still out of my own pocket, I will give you 200,000 yuan, plus 100,000 loads of grain, what do you think?" ”

Feng Delin thought for a while and nodded, and said: "General, we will wait in the school field outside the city, you send the things, we will naturally go back to Beizhen honestly, if you don't send it, these brothers are a little wild, and if they do anything unpleasant, Feng can't restrain them." ”

Duan Zhigui endured his anger and nodded, and Feng Delin finally led people to withdraw temporarily.

"Lao Feng is good at everything, he is just greedy for cheapness, and now that Duan Zhigui has promised to give a little money, he has to shrink back, this is a bad thing!" Zhang Zuolin said with a smile.

Since Feng Delin sent his troops, Zhang Zuolin has been paying attention, he thought that Lao Feng would directly attack the mansion of the patrol envoy and drive Duan Zhigui away. At that time, Lao Zhang happened to come forward to save Duan Zhigui and stabilize the situation. As a result, he didn't expect Lao Feng to retreat again, and his subordinates had already told Lao Zhang that Duan Zhigui took out 200,000 oceans and 100,000 loads of grain, and sent Feng Delin away, making Lao Zhang suddenly feel like he was punching the cotton ball.

"Seventh Master, Uncle Feng only needs to raise troops, some things are not under his control, which makes people in the rivers and lakes involuntarily!"

"Tinglan, what's the bad idea again?"

"Seventh master, Duan Zhigui promised to take out 100,000 loads of grain, and we will start from here, I have already arranged for manpower to change the grain, you said that the soldiers of the 28th Division saw that the grain was rotten and spoiled, and they didn't even eat livestock, what did you say would happen to them, and what would happen to Lao Feng?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Tinglan, the two foxes, both showed smug smiles. (To be continued......)
