Chapter 444: Guo Songling rebelled
As the saying goes, you can't contain fire in paper, and the news of Lao Zhang's assassination soon spread all over the world, although Fengjun did not announce Zhang Zuolin's life and death, but all kinds of speculations have been flying all over the sky, and the three eastern provinces are also disturbed. After the meeting, the division and brigade commanders who participated in the meeting and those who supported the new commander all returned to their stations to try to pacify the soldiers and maintain the situation.
And those who have ill intentions also began to connect in tandem, and an undercurrent began to surge. Zhang Tinglan, who was in the center of the trouble, seemed very quiet, but announced the strengthening of martial law, and then there was no movement, which made everyone a little puzzled.
"Humble words, the situation is getting worse, shouldn't we take some action?"
Yang Yuting asked anxiously: "You can sit firmly on the Diaoyutai, everyone is happy, but it is too stable, I don't have a bottom in my heart!" ”
"Neighbor Ge, I said that this is an opportunity for the transformation of the Feng army, and the rebirth of the phoenix nirvana will have to go through the test of the flames, this is a step we must take. If we fail to take advantage of this time to bring about the rebirth of the Feng army, there will only be more troubles in the future. ”
Zhang Tinglan's favorite thing is to follow the trend, and if she usually does a little more effort, she can save a lot of trouble. But in the face of the current situation, he is ready to change his previous approach, let the problem be fully exposed, and then focus on solving it.
"Clumsy words, Guo Songling, this guy has a backbone in the back of his head!" Yang Yuting sighed and said: "You asked him to be the commander of the military division in Rehe, but this guy doesn't appreciate it, and he contacts other officers everywhere, I'm worried that he will take the opportunity to rebel." ”
"Guo Songling is a tiger general, and he has a close relationship with Han Qing, I hope he can do things for Fengjun wholeheartedly, and I am willing to promote him. But if he really wants to rebel, I can't bypass him! ”
"Do you want me to send someone to arrest Guo Songling and then execute him secretly?"
"Nope." Zhang Tinglan hurriedly waved his hand: "The news of Dashuai's death will be announced sooner or later, if there is no reason, Guo Songling will be executed, outsiders will only say that I attacked Han Qing, it is not appropriate to do so!" ”
"When has this been, how can you still take care of your mother-in-law's reputation? Those who have achieved great things are not informal, and they will eliminate these troubles first. As for what outsiders think, they don't care at all.
Zhang Tinglan shook her head with a smile: "If it was just for fame, I would have done it a long time ago, what really worries me is the bloody infighting, which will leave serious scars." Causing distrust within the Bong army. Let's look around at the enemy, if there is a rift inside. It's easy to go wrong. Guo Songling: I will take him. And I will take him down as quickly as possible, but I will first let his evil deeds be revealed, and then I will justifiably beg the thief. ”
When Yang Yuting heard Zhang Tinglan's thoughts, his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile: "Humble words, if you really have this ability." I don't know what arrangements you have? ”
While he was talking, Chang Yinhuai suddenly ran in with an urgent telegram. It was sent to Zhang Tinglan.
"In a humble way, Liu Yuqing, commander of the Second Cavalry Brigade of Heilongjiang, and Zhang Zili, commander of the Hulan garrison, declared independence!"
After the meeting, all the military leaders from all over the country returned to their stations, and these two guys had just arrived in Heilongjiang, and they immediately declared independence, and the speed was very astonishing.
"To put it mildly, they claim to have been appointed by Duan Qirui, and they are the new overseers of Heilongjiang, and they want to drive out the Feng army and realize the autonomy of Heilongjiang!"
"Dreaming." Yang Yuting couldn't sit still at first, he snatched the telegram, looked at it carefully, and then said: "Humble words, you can't wait any longer, these bastards have jumped out, if you don't take action, the entire three eastern provinces will be in chaos." ”
Zhang Tinglan closed her eyes slightly, carefully flashed various thoughts in her mind, and after thinking for a long time, Zhang Tinglan nodded: "It's really time to take action, let's first announce the death of Dashuai, and then stimulate careerists from all walks of life, and then we will prepare to close the net!" ”
Zhang Tinglan immediately found her father Zhang Zuoxiang and reported the situation to him, Zhang Zuoxiang's eyebrows locked into a pimple, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"Humble words, what kind of military and political conference are you doing, you have already taken care of the interests of these people, since the green forest in the past, which time the dynasty was changed was not a large-scale killing, and the blood flowed like a river, but we didn't kill one person this time, they just don't know what to do, and it's unbearable!"
"Dad, let me say something unpleasant, we still have bandit roots in the Feng army, although I have always advocated the establishment of a new army, but with the first commander in one day, this goal cannot be achieved. I'm holding back now, just because I want to expose all these problems, and then we'll kick the old man out of the army in the open. Starting from the officers and soldiers at the bottom, reshape the Feng army, so that the Feng army can be reborn from the ashes. ”
Zhang Zuoxiang nodded: "Humble words, I understand your thoughts, but can this kind of thing be postponed a little, wait until we stabilize the overall situation, and then start a little bit, so you don't have to be so passive now." ”
"Dad, in fact, what I'm worried about is not Beiyang, nor is it a few miscellaneous pieces inside. In the past three years of operation, the liliang hidden in my hands is much bigger than I imagined, not only the army, but also other systems, I am all ready. The only thing that makes me jealous is the Japanese, if they take the opportunity to directly intervene, or even use force, it will inevitably be useless. ”
What Zhang Tinglan has done over the years, Zhang Zuoxiang doesn't know much, and it is only now that Zhang Tinglan reveals his heart, saying that he still has a lot of hidden strength in his hands, Zhang Zuoxiang nodded with emotion: "Stinky boy, I finally know how to play tricks, and I will keep my hands behind." You are deliberately showing weakness, causing all sides to jump out, and then confusing the Japanese, making them think that these miscellaneous pieces can deal with us, and they will not rush to send troops. ”
"That's right, Dad, let's continue to perform, I suggest that Fengtian be vacated first and give them a chance."
Zhang Zuoxiang saw that Zhang Tinglan was full of confidence, and also nodded: "Humble words, as long as you don't play with fire and self-immolation, I will support you!" ”
"Dad, don't worry, let's announce the death of the marshal first, and then you will go north in person to settle the rebellion, and I will lead my troops to the south, nominally go up to resist the Beiyang, and create the illusion that the sky is empty. Let those careerists jump out. ”
was already in turmoil, announced Zhang Zuolin's death, and the two of them left Fengtian, it seems that this is definitely a stinky move, but Zhang Tinglan dares to play like this, because he has enough hole cards.
After the two of them discussed properly, they quickly gathered all the officers in Mukden, Sun Liechen and the others all arrived, and the big guy's face showed a deep look of worry, the current situation is indeed too unfavorable.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Now all the clowns have jumped out, if they want to bring down our Feng army, they must not be let go, I am ready to send troops as soon as possible to quell the rebellion internally. Expelled the Beiyang Army from the outside world. The patrol envoy personally went north to deal with the rebellion in Heilongjiang. Deputy Patrol Envoy Sun and Guo Songling led their troops to Rehe. Block Xiao Xu's invasion of Rehe, and then I led my troops directly to Shanhaiguan to deal with Kan Chaoxi. ”
Zhang Tinglan announced the dispatch of troops, and everyone present was a little dumbfounded, they did want to send troops as soon as possible, but they didn't want to arrange it like this. Zhang Zuoxiang, Zhang Tinglan, and Sun Liechen have all left Fengtian, and there are no virtuous and respected people in charge, won't this Fengtian be in chaos!
"Fu Chen, you are a patrol envoy. Let's sit in Mukden in person, and we will be able to cope with the situation in front of us. Sun Liechen tried to suggest.
"No need, I am most familiar with the situation in Beiman, you can put down the rebellion as soon as you go, Mukden is our base camp, there are too many people loyal to the Feng army, there is no need to worry about it. I estimate that it will take about ten days and half a month, and it will not be more than a month at most, everything has stabilized, and there is nothing to worry about! ”
Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan are both the same tone, although Sun Liechen is full of suspicion, but it is not easy to object, can only reluctantly agree, after the army is dispatched, Zhang Tinglan officially informed the outside world of Zhang Zuolin's death, saying that the marshal was assassinated by assassins in Shanhaiguan and died of his injuries.
Zhang Zuoxiang took over as the envoy of the three eastern provinces, and at the same time announced the establishment of the Northeast Military and Political Conference to maintain law and order and investigate the murderers. I hope that all the military and civilians in Northeast China can work together to tide over the difficulties and ensure the overall situation of stability and development in Northeast China!
After the issuance of the shortened communiqué, Feng's army began to move, Zhang Zuoxiang went north, Zhang Tinglan went south, and Fengtian became empty all of a sudden.
"Brother Maochen, the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity has finally come, Zhang Tinglan's little boy is a little overdone, thinking that he can handle all the troubles, he dares to directly announce the death of the marshal, and dares to leave Fengtian, he simply doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
Xu Youfang, the official brigade commander of the 56th Brigade who spoke, originally followed Feng Delin, and later returned to Lao Zhang and was promoted to the position of brigade commander, but this person was insatiable and got into a lawsuit not long ago, Yang Yuting sued Zhang Zuolin and almost took him down.
Xu Youfang held a grudge, now that he had the opportunity, how could he not take advantage of it, in addition to him, the original artillery regiment commander Zhou He also came in.
"When the marshal leaves, the young marshal should succeed to the throne, why do Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan monopolize the power, our loyal people in the army have long been unable to see it. Brother Mao Chen, you are the person trusted by the young marshal, you will take the lead, and absolutely respond in all directions, let's kill Zhang Zuoxiang and Zhang Tinglan, it's not bad for you to be the director of the military committee, let's get a deputy director. ”
Zhou He showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth as he spoke, and at the same time betrayed his mind, this guy didn't think about Zhang Xueliang succeeding to the throne, this was just a banner. His real purpose was to take the opportunity to seize the power of the Feng army and become a prince.
Guo Songling sighed and said: "I sincerely assist Han Qing, I don't want to be an official, if it weren't for Zhang Zuoxiang and them going too far, I wouldn't be like this." It's just that there is still a little trouble, that is, we have an empty army, but the arms and funds are all under Zhang Tinglan's control, there is no money and no money, how should we deal with them? ”
"Brother Maochen, this is all a trivial matter, why should you be embarrassed!" Yu Wendian said with a smile: "As long as you nod and agree, this can be solved." ”
Yu Wendian is Yu Chonghan's cousin, these two brothers are all the way, his brother can take refuge in the Japanese, he is no exception, now that Yu Chonghan has been arrested, Yu Wendian is naturally unwilling, and the master behind him also wants him to toss.
"Brother Maochen, as long as you can stand up and reorganize the Fengtian army, the Japanese are willing to provide you with a loan of 10 million, and as for the arms, don't worry, as long as we take down the Fengtian Arsenal, there will be a large number of production lines in it. Not to mention anything else, Zhang Tinglan is really good in the military industry, and he can actually drum up a factory with an annual output of hundreds of thousands of guns, but these things will belong to us! ”
Guo Songling turned around on the ground a few times, and after weighing it repeatedly, he became more and more determined, and said to the three people: "Let's just do it, Brigade Commander Xu, Regiment Commander Zhou, you go and rectify the army." Brother Yu went to contact the Japanese and asked them to provide me with enough loan help. I first led the army to pretend to go to Rehe, but the speed of the march would be suppressed, and when Zhang Tinglan arrived at Shanhaiguan and Kan Chaoxi was sentimental, I led the troops back to Fengtian. ”
"Okay, it's long overdue!" Xu Youfang said with a smile: "When the time comes, we should cooperate with the outside and take Fengtian in one fell swoop, as long as it is done, Premier Duan of Beiyang and the Japanese will support us, Zhang Tinglan doesn't have to be proud, who will kill the deer, it is not yet known!"
