Chapter 157: Great Loyalty

"Damn, this bullshit holy decree is harder than bad ass paper, what can it do!"

Lao Zhang received Yuan Shikai's order to send troops out of the pass, and immediately jumped like thunder, at the moment the soldiers and horses of the army are not enough, where is there any extra liliang sent into the pass!

"Yu Shuai, it is obvious that Lao Yuan's order is harboring evil intentions, if we agree, we will take the opportunity to weaken the Feng army. If you don't agree, you will give Yuan Shikai a handle, and then Lao Yuan will be able to find us trouble, which is a problem for us. Yuan Jinkai analyzed.

Sun Liechen's brows furrowed, and then he said: "That's what I said, but we first beat the Yi army, and then openly broke Lao Yuan's order, in the eyes of outsiders, our Fengjun seems to be a little too arrogant and domineering, and it is easy to cause dissatisfaction from all parties." ”

Sun Liechen obviously does not refer to Lao Yuan, now the situation in Beiyang is obvious, Lao Yuan has declined, and it is Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang who really hold the real power in Beiyang.

Beiyang has a strong heritage, even if Lao Yuan fails, Cai Ye has no ability to shake the foundation of Beiyang, Beiyang will still control the Beijing regime, if they are dissatisfied with Zhang Zuolin, and then take restrictive measures, it is very unfavorable to the development of the Feng army, after all, Lao Zhang's wings are not yet full.

"Yuting, maybe the independent brigade is too capable of fighting, so that Lao Yuan has the idea of transferring the Feng army into the customs to fight against the Dian army." Zhang Jinghui sighed on the side and said: "The gun shot the first bird, let's let Lao Yuan target it." ”

"If it is really difficult to fight, I am afraid that Lao Yuan will not give us an order to send troops, but an order for me to go to Beijing to ask for guilt!" Lao Zhang said loudly: "The better we fight, the more face we have, and I'm not afraid to be this up-and-coming bird." In short, I will just say one word, Fengjun will never enter the customs, what does Lao Yuan want, let him go, Lao Tzu can't let the brothers be Lao Yuan's cannon fodder! ”

Zhang Zuolin saw it very clearly, the circle of Beiyang is a place where the soft is bullied and afraid of the hard, and those like Mi Zhenbiao who do not measure themselves are looking for death. But if you have strength, you have to show it, just like this time the independent brigade easily wiped out more than 4,000 resolute troops with one regiment, which means that the entire independent brigade can be worth 10,000 resolute troops.

Holding the Separate Brigade and the 27th Division. Lao Zhang is equivalent to having two divisions of troops, which is the first outside the pass, and through a hearty victory, he can completely convince those half-hearted wall-riding factions, at least after the Battle of Tongliao. Wu Junsheng and Ma Longtan, the two town guards, have completely fallen to Zhang Zuolin.

Only the old man is looking forward, and this is the result of the battle. It is also where Lao Zhang's confidence lies. If Lao Yuan really dared to persecute him, Lao Zhang might have raised the banner of the National Protector Army in Mukden, so that Lao Yuan would suffer from the enemy on his back.

"Yuting, internal and external troubles, we can't blindly tear our faces with Yuan Shikai, you see if we accept this order. Then let Feng Delin lead the troops into the pass, so that Lao Yuan is also an explanation, and one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, so let Lao Feng go to the pass to develop. ”

It was Zhang Zuoxiang who spoke. Don't look at Zhang Zuoxiang, who is usually quiet, but he is also a very thoughtful person, Lao Feng is still Lao Zhang's subordinate in name, and he is also a member of the Feng army, so it is understandable for him to lead troops into the customs, and he can also take the opportunity to get rid of an opponent, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Zhang Zuolin's face finally showed joy, but then his brows furrowed again.

"Fu Chen's idea is very good, I'm afraid that Lao Feng won't listen to orders."

"If he doesn't listen to the order, he won't be reasonable, and then we will force Feng Delin to enter the customs!" This is the truth that big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimp, Lao Yuan can force Lao Zhang like this, and Lao Zhang can use the same method to pit Lao Feng.

Zhang Zuolin thought about it, nodded, and made up his mind, in order to show the importance of this matter, Lao Zhang specially asked Zhang Jinghui to go to Beizhen to convey orders to Lao Feng.

Lao Zhang also knew in his heart that Feng Delin would not agree to enter the customs so easily, maybe Lao Feng would turn his face directly. Therefore, he gave orders to both Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, telling the troops to be vigilant and ready to deal with Lao Feng's counterattack at any time.

At this time, Zhang Tinglan dealt with the affairs of Tongliao almost, and rushed back to Fengtian with the troops, he was victorious this time, and it coincided with the New Year, for the Fengjun, it can be said that it was a double happiness, and Lao Zhang personally went to the outside of the city to greet him.

He praised the Independent Brigade: "This battle has played the prestige of our Fengjun and our momentum, and whoever wants to move Fengtian in the future must touch his head, which one does not open his eyes, Mi Zhenbiao is a lesson from the past!" ”

Representatives from all walks of life in Fengtian's political and business circles have been sent, and the strength of the Fengtian army is also a blessing for them, relying on a strong army, they can get safe, so when they see the majestic contingent of the independent brigade, everyone boils.

And Zhang Tinglan also deliberately put the prisoners of the Yi Army in the team, these prisoners were dejected one by one, the team was long and elders, and many good people counted them one by one, wanting to see how many there were, but they were soon dazzled.

Anyway, everyone knows a fact, that is, the Feng army has won a hearty victory, and the people who were still suspicious of the Feng army have completely shut their mouths, and if they want to mix up on the territory of Fengtian, they must honestly cooperate with Zhang Zuolin!

This is the effect that Lao Zhang hopes to achieve, a real show of force, no matter how much saliva works, the lively triumphal ceremony is over, Zhang Tinglan finally returned home, busy for more than half a year, it is rare to be quiet.

Now the second lady Hua Futian is in charge of the Zhang Mansion, who is less than ten years older than Zhang Tinglan, and Zhang Tinglan will definitely be a little embarrassed if she thinks that she is a little mother, but the customs of this era are like this, and there is no way. Mrs. Hua is still a good hand at running the family business, and she is in order in all aspects.

Zhang Tinglan was also happy to be idle, as soon as he was free, he went to the teahouse to soak for a while, and when he was enjoying his leisure, Lao Zhang suddenly sent someone to call him over, and Zhang Jinghui came back from Beizhen.

Tofu Zhang's face was gloomy, obviously things were not going well, and he was telling Zhang Zuolin what had happened.

"Yuting, I have a negative trust, Feng Delin neither agreed, nor objected to sending troops, but said that he asked the Feng army to send troops together, how many people the 27th Division sent, and how many more people he sent from the 28th Division, not just one side."

Listening to Zhang Jinghui's introduction, Lao Zhang's brows also furrowed. I really can't underestimate Feng Delin, people have also passed countless rivers and waves, and they don't rub sand in their eyes, and it is really not so easy for them to fool him away.

"Marshal, since Senior Commander Feng said so, let's simply agree, let's send troops into the customs." Zhang Tinglan put forward his own ideas.

Lao Zhang frowned and said, "I don't want to waste my military strength in the pass. ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled secretly in her heart, in history, it was because Lao Zhang was keen to enter the Central Plains. Only then did the vitality of the Feng Department be exhausted, Zuihou let the Japanese occupy the three eastern provinces by luck, and now Lao Zhang obviously does not have such unrealistic ideas, and running his hometown is still the first. Although the Kannai is good, there is no stable rear. Don't even think about it.

"Dashuai, why did you forget. We still have an army to use. Zhang Tinglan reminded him. Lao Zhang's mind also flashed, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Humble words, you're talking about the reinforcement group that Duan Zhigui brought at that time."

"That's right, His Highness only took a thousand or so people, and there are about three thousand left, and this time we have captured more than a thousand Yi soldiers. In the past, there were quite a few dismantled patrol battalions or something, but we organized all these people, and at least one brigade of soldiers could be pulled out and sent to the Guannei. It is not to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Feng army, but to throw off all the burdens. ”

When he left the reinforcement group, Zhang Tinglan had this idea, no one would be idle, and raising a group of white and well-fed children was to use them as a shield at a critical time.

"Actually, it's not just these guys, there are bandits all over the Northeast, let's take these people in, send them to the Guannei, let them eat Lao Yuan's, drink Lao Yuan's, this is to reduce our burden. In addition, since Lao Yuan asked us to send troops to the customs, we can't talk nonsense, should he give us money, should he give us guns, should he not give the establishment. I don't think Lao Yuan's trick is clever, we can completely counter him and get more benefits. ”

After Zhang Tinglan finished saying a few words, all the people present were dumbfounded, they dared to play like this, but it was really a good way to think about it. Zhang Zuoxiang only thought of dragging Feng Delin into the water, and Zhang Tinglan was better than the blue out of the blue, and Yuan Shikai calculated it, which was simply too powerful.

Lao Zhang also smiled: "Humble Yan is flexible, I would have asked you directly, I saved a lot of effort, and I haven't thought of a way, so what should I do next, take out the charter." ”

"Marshal, Lao Yuan wants to put us in a dilemma, I think we can turn Yuan Shikai's army in turn. You might as well build up the momentum first, and publicize that the Feng army has done its best for the emperor, and will soon send troops to the pass to help the emperor quell the rebellion. We can first send those miscellaneous pieces into the customs as the vanguard to show our sincerity. Then we will raise a little difficulty to Lao Yuan and ask him to help solve it, Emperor Yuan's holy decree is all there, and he will not swallow the words he says. ”

Sun Liechen listened to Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, and nodded frequently, but there was still a little doubt: "Humble words, if Yuan Shikai really agrees, will we still send troops to give Yuan Shikai his life?" ”

Zhang Tinglan smiled and shook his head: "The Northeast is so chaotic, anything can be used as an excuse." And I estimate that Emperor Yuan won't last so long, let's have a few rounds of tug-of-war with him, and when it comes to the establishment, get enough guns, and then eat and wipe clean, you don't have to deal with Yuan Shikai at all, and wait for him to fall. ”

In fact, the matter in front of me is that the three parties are playing, Lao Yuan, Lao Zhang, Lao Feng, the status gap between the three is very large, but status is not the only factor that determines the outcome of the victory, but also to see who can seize the opportunity, resolve the opponent's offensive, and then rebound back.

After immediately discussing the specific plan of action, Lao Zhang led many generals in Fengtian and sent a telegram, to the effect that Zhang Zuolin was born reckless and deeply favored by Bixia Hong, so he has today. Now that Cai Ye has openly rebelled against the emperor Bixia, the Feng army will defend Bixia to the death and fight the traitors to the end.

Lao Zhang also humbly said that as a soldier, he doesn't understand democracy and republic, nor does he understand constitutional monarchy, he only knows that Emperor Bixia is the head of state, and as a soldier, he should serve the country and be loyal to the emperor!

The core of this power-up is four words: Gratitude and Picture Report!

Lao Zhang said so, and did so, and immediately ordered the Feng army to fully mobilize, prepare all weapons, step up drills every day, and wait for Bixia's dispatch at any time.

Not only was the army mobilized, but Lao Zhang also went around collecting military salaries and people's husbands, and asked the War Department for instructions, asking for a liaison group to be sent to open the way for the Feng army to enter the pass, and also asked for a route for sending troops.

Zhang Zuolin's hard-working actions naturally quickly reached Lao Yuan's ears, Yuan Shikai was also stunned, did he always mislook at Zhang Zuolin, this bandit leader is just arrogant, but there is still loyalty in his heart, you must know that Yuan Shikai's most painful thing now is that his former subordinates did not listen to greetings and looked at their own jokes, so a big loyal minister suddenly appeared, which gave Lao Yuan a trace of comfort in his heart, he had not failed to reach home, and there were still loyal people in the world!
