Chapter 469: Unification of the country (2)

Just when everyone was holding their breath and waiting to see Wang Zhenyu being smashed on the head by Zhang Zongchang, Zhang Zongchang, who was tall and abnormal, suddenly flew out from Wang Zhenyu's side, and landed three meters away.

What's going on, seeing Zhang Zongchang fall to the ground, everyone hurriedly looked back, the guards who followed Wang Zhenyu in were independent with one foot at the moment, and the other foot was still in the posture of kicking out, it was obvious that Zhang Zongchang was kicked out by him.

"Grandma, you dare to come to our Northeast masters to smash the field, brothers, go on, cut them!" I don't know who shouted this, but it was immediately responded to by everyone.

The generals of the Feng army don't remember who they are now, anyway, they feel that they are back to the days when they were bandits, and they immediately rushed towards Wang Zhenyu.

The guard who kicked Zhang Zongchang was none other than Wang Chenhao, who rescued Wang Zhenyu from the tiger's mouth and served as the head of the personal guard. He easily knocked over three or four of the fierce ones, and then suddenly ripped off his military uniform. Everyone looked at it and was shocked, it was actually explosives, or the kind that was caught at all.

Wang Zhenyu said slowly: "I came to express my condolences to Zhang Dashuai, not to fight with you, if you are not afraid of disturbing Zhang Dashuai and his old man, then you will toss, I will send you down to apologize to his old man." ”

With such a fluttering sentence, the generals of the Feng army were all bluffed, they didn't bring adjutants and guards with them, if they really wanted to play with others themselves, I'm sorry, I'm not interested.

Zhang Zuoxiang finally spoke at this time: "What does it look like?" As soon as the old handsome man left, you are like this, what kind of system have you become? ”

Wang Zhenyu didn't pay attention to the reaction of the generals of Fengjun, he gave Zhang Zuolin incense and burned paper according to the rules, and then walked to the family appreciation area. Seeing that Zhang Xueliang, a young marshal who was only fifteen years old, kowtowed to him to thank him, Wang Zhenyu asked softly, "Are you Zhang Xueliang?" Ru name Little Rokuko"

Zhang Xueliang nodded helplessly, and then mustered up the courage to ask very boldly: "You are the southern Yankee Wang Zhenyu who gave my father a headache?" ”

Wang Zhenyu nodded: "Your father and I are rivals, but we respect each other, I am sad about your father's death, I will definitely give your Zhang family an explanation." ”

Zhang Xueliang shook his head and said: "My father said before his death that you are a great hero, and it will be yours who will be either his in the future, so it is definitely not you who murdered my father, and you don't need you to give us any explanation to the Zhang family, you can come to mourn my father, we are already grateful." ”

Wang Zhenyu was surprised by the steady performance of a fifteen-year-old child, he stretched out his right hand and gently stroked Zhang Xueliang's head, thinking of his adopted son Shen Quan, who was already thirteen years old, and seemed to be so sensible. couldn't help but sigh: "What a distressing child, who lost his father at such a young age." Little Liuzi, are you willing to recognize me as your father-in-law? ”

There was an uproar at the scene, and Zhang Zongchang, who was half-sitting on the ground with his ribs broken and kicked, immediately shouted: "Little Liuzi, you can't recognize a thief as your father, even if he doesn't assassinate the commander, he is also the mortal enemy of our army!" Don't ......."

Zhang Xueliang looked at Zhang Zuoxiang blankly, he didn't believe Yang Yuting from the bottom of his heart, he preferred to believe in his father's brother Zhang Zuoxiang. In fact, Zhang Zuoxiang is indeed credible, and the defense arrangement of today's Marshal's Mansion was arranged by Zhang Zuoxiang.

As a result, Zhang Xueliang saw that Zhang Zuoxiang was nodding, so he nodded at Wang Zhenyu without hesitation and said, "The father-in-law is above, please accept the child's worship." ”

Wang Zhenyu laughed, and then shouted coldly to the generals of the Feng army: "From now on, Zhang Xueliang is my righteous son, and the affairs of the Zhang family are the affairs of my Wang Zhenyu. ”

Saying that, Wang Zhenyu walked up to Zhang Zongchang: "The Feng Army will be changed to the Northeast Frontier Army from now on, and those who are willing to participate are welcome, and those who are unwilling to participate, I can tell you the consequences clearly." The war in Shandong has ended, and the Japanese have also been defeated by me, but the brothers of the fifteen divisions under my command have not yet enjoyed the fight, and they all hope to fight a good war and make meritorious contributions. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zongchang's heart was cold, and he glanced at Wang Zhenyu with severe pain, and suddenly felt that the person in front of him was terrible, and his body involuntarily shrank back, but he still didn't speak.

Wang Zhenyu knew that this tall-looking man was really afraid, so he didn't say anything more and walked away.

Yang Yuting looked at Wang Zhenyu who was leaving, and then at Zhang Zuoxiang, who was protecting Zhang Xueliang like a father, and could only sigh deeply.

In fact, when Wang Zhenyu defeated the Japanese and came true, the Feng army, except for Zhang Zongchang and the like, basically stopped thinking about fighting for the world with the southern youth army. And after Zhang Zuolin's death, not only did he not fight for the world, but everyone already felt that Fengjun's family business could no longer be maintained. Not to mention anything else, just the pile of debts owed by the old handsome is a headache to think about.

This is not the most critical, if Zhang Xueliang is seven or eight years older, then the Feng army can still serve him as the master and continue to maintain and develop. But Zhang Zuolin, the eldest son, is only fifteen years old, so it is inevitable that the centripetal force within the Fengjun will be lost, and the era when everyone is qualified to become a boss is an era when no one can be a boss.

Yang Du couldn't persuade Yang Yuting to do it anyway, so he chose to work with the Beijing terminus to plot against Yang Yuting's 150,000 troops. Yang Yongtai successfully grasped Zhang Zuoxiang's idea of protecting the heirs of the Zhang family, and successfully persuaded Zhang Zuoxiang to take the 120,000 troops outside the gate to join Wang Zhenyu. So there was the scene of condolence, Wang Zhenyu gave the best conditions he could give, from this moment on, in the eyes of the veterans of the feudal system, Zhang Xueliang's future is guaranteed is equal to his own future is also guaranteed. Wang Zhenyu's acceptance of Zhang Xueliang as his righteous son essentially means that Zhang Xueliang has the right to inherit Wang Zhenyu's career, even if he can't inherit it, it is equivalent to having a bright future. Isn't everyone being an official just asking for a good life? Since big names like Zhang Zuoxiang and Yang Yuting don't toss anymore, just follow along.

Yang Yuting is not a fool, Wang Zhenyu can appear in Fengtian, he must have come by plane like Yang Du, and he didn't know it, the most reasonable explanation is that the rumors are true, and many senior generals under his command have been successfully rebelled by the Youth Army.

In the ninth year of the Republic of China, on January 1, 1920, after a night of quarrels and compromises, Yang Yuting and Zhang Zuoxiang finally reached an agreement with Yang Du and Yang Yongtai, announcing that Fengjun would change banners from now on and accept the leadership of the national government. Zhang Zuoxiang was appointed commander of the Northeast Frontier Army, and Yang Yuting was appointed chief of staff. After the completion of the reorganization work in the next three years, most of the old men of the Fengjun army were driven out of the army and transferred to local government posts, while the middle and lower-level officers were sent to the military academy after screening, and the Northeast Frontier Army, like the Northwest and Mongolian Frontier Guards, was filled with graduates of the Wuhan Army University, and the troops were also reduced to six divisions, and its parent body, the Fengjun, became completely history.

And Zhang Zongchang, who returned to Baoding with an injury, thought about it again and again, and found that he had no strength to resist, although he had an army of 600,000, but he had no arms, salaries, and materials needed for the battle, plus Zhang Zuoxiang, Yang Yuting had surrendered, and he could only agree to change the banner.

Subsequently, according to the agreement, 600,000 Zhilu coalition troops were surrounded, and then a three-month transformation and screening. Those with criminal records will all be sent to labor camps, while the rest of the personnel will be dismissed, except for some qualified personnel who have been added to the Northeast Frontier Army. In return, Zhang Zongchang was allowed to move his family to Shanghai in a French lease until he was assassinated by the enemy's son a few years later.

Now that there is no longer an army against the Nationalist Government throughout the country, the central government in Beijing is doomed, both nominally and in practice.

In Nanjing, in the face of the oncoming victory, Sun Wen, who was caught off guard, once again showed his weakness. He decided to back down and make concessions to Wang Zhenyu in exchange for the political capital to unify the whole country. Therefore, Xiong Xiling's position as premier of the Government Council was naturally restored, and out of comity, Sun Wen also appointed Xiong Xiling as the plenipotentiary representative of the national government to go to Beijing and take over the banner of the central government from the Beijing government, which existed in name only.

On January 10, Zhang Zizhong's division of the 1st Division of the Youth Army marched into Beijing as a victor. Then under the gaze of tens of thousands of officers and soldiers of the First Division, Zhang Shao, the last premier of the central government in Beijing, personally handed over all the seals and seals to Xiong Xiling, the representative of the Nanjing National Government, in *** Square with a humble attitude, and this moment was destined to become history for the Beiyang government, which occupies an important position in Chinese history. Duan Qirui, an old man from Beiyang who was specially invited to participate in the handover ceremony, Cao Kun cried in a mess and didn't know why, and hundreds of thousands of people from all walks of life in the capital flocked to *** to witness this great historical moment, the fall of an old regime and the birth of a new regime. Zhang Shao once looked at the surging crowd under ***, and said to Xiong Xiling with emotion: "Brother Bingkun, life is like a dream, the world is impermanent, I can't imagine that I, Zhang Shaozeng, have experienced two dynasty changes in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China in just one life." What else can be said about this? I can only hope that you, the national government, can really lead our old China to become prosperous and strong. ”

Xiong Xiling nodded: "We will, as long as there is an unborn hero like Wang Zhenyu (Wang Zhenyu heard the scolding, are you praising me or hurting me, you are three fat) to lead us, we will definitely let this ancient nation rise again." ”
