Sun Liechen entered Beijing on behalf of Zhang Zuolin and received extraordinary treatment, compared to the last time Lao Zhang was snubbed at the train station, it can be said that he was extremely enthusiastic, Lao Yuan asked the number one henchman Yang Shiqi to greet him at the train station in person, and directly brought Sun Liechen into Xinhua Palace.

The more enthusiastic he is, the more he means that Yuan Shikai is in a difficult situation, otherwise people don't pretend to Zhang Zuolin, why treat themselves preferentially, Sun Liechen's heart is clear, this is the unpredictable world, in just a few months, it will become Lao Yuan asking for help to Fengjun.

Sun Liechen is also an acting school, he showed sincerity and fear, followed Yang Shiqi to Lao Yuan's bedroom, Hongxian Emperor Yuan Shikai sat on the dragon chair, and when he met, Sun Liechen was also taken aback, Lao Yuan's hair was gray, there were many age spots on his face, his complexion was even worse, and his face seemed to be covered with a layer of black!

The face is full of heart, just looking at this virtue, I know that his days are probably not long, this is just a flash of Sun Liechen's thoughts, and he still bows to Yuan Shikai honestly.

"Zanyao, hurry up." When Lao Yuan saw that Sun Liechen was so deferential, his heart felt a lot more comfortable, and he asked with a smile: "The rain pavilion is good." ”

"Back to Bixia, Zhang Shuai has just taken charge of the Fengtian military power, and is working hard to reorganize the army and do his duty for Bixia."

"Okay, good, Yuting is a capable person, and I am relieved that Fengtian is under his rule."

After thinking about it, Lao Yuan asked again: "Yuting said that he sent troops into the customs to participate in the war, how many people can Fengtian produce?" ”

"Back to Bixia, Fengtianmin is weak and weak, and he has to shoulder the heavy responsibility of border defense, so there are not many troops that can be transferred, and he can send a brigade of troops for the time being, and in another month or two, Fengtian can reorganize a division of men and horses. For Bixia to drive. ”

When Lao Yuan heard this, his eyes lit up, if Feng Tian could really send so many men and horses, it would definitely have a great impact on the battle situation, and the Feng army easily defeated the Yi army, which shows that the combat effectiveness of the Feng army is not weak, and there can be 15,000 loyal and brave soldiers, and the front line may really be able to reverse.

Originally, Zhang Zuolin said that he would send troops to support Lao Yuan, but Yuan Shikai was more of a psychological comfort, and he had not yet reached the time when everyone betrayed his relatives and left. But now that I look at it, it is real support, and Lao Yuan's heart is warm.

However, Yang Shiqi on the side was taken aback, and Zhang Zuolin suddenly agreed to send a division and a brigade, 15,000 men and horses. This is not a small number, you must know how many people Lao Zhang has in total?

"Master Sun. Zhang Yuting did not have only one 27th division. Is there also an independent brigade, is he going to send all his troops into the pass, so what liliang is used to guard Fengtian? ”

Yang Shiqi's words also reminded Lao Yuan, don't patronize and be happy, if Zhang Zuolin is talking big, he will be happy in vain.

"Zanyao. Do you have a specific plan for this soldier and horse? But you must not leave Fengtian aside, the Japanese are eyeing each other, and there are bandits who are making trouble, if Fengtian has a mistake. I am a sinner for the ages! ”

Although Yuan Shikai is a hero, he is still very sober-minded, and he must not lose the territory in his own hands, which is also a bottom line that many Beiyang warlords adhere to, and later Lao Zhang was also killed in Huanggutun because he insisted on this bottom line.

"Bixia, Zhang Shuai has studied carefully, there are still some people left in the guard regiment that General Duan brought to Fengtian last time, they are all Beiyang elite soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is very strong, Zhang Shuai transferred a part of the troops from the 27th Division, enriched it, and formed an advance force of a brigade There is no problem at all. The next division will be drawn from all over Mukden, and the two town guards Ma Longtan and Wu Junsheng have agreed to send troops together with Zhang Shuai, and the three parties will coordinate to take out the main force, and then add a little new army, which can completely form a division. ”

Sun Liechen deliberately didn't say anything about Feng Delin, obviously stumbling on Lao Feng, and after Lao Yuan heard it, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Zanyao, will the main force be withdrawn, will it weaken the combat effectiveness of the Feng army, and how can the army made up in this way ensure that it has enough combat effectiveness, how to solve the salary and weapons, do you have a plan?"

Lao Yuan asked the point in every word, obviously the emperor was not completely confused, and it was not easy to fool him.

"Bixia, the deployment of the main force will naturally affect the combat effectiveness, but Zhang Shuai and the two town guards have developed a set of mobile defense strategies, relying on cavalry and railway to quickly transport troops, once there is a problem, they will quickly support, which can greatly save troops. In the past, all units of the Feng Army often worked together to suppress bandits, and they had rich experience in joint operations, and their combat effectiveness was completely maintained after the whole training. As for the military salary, I tried my best to raise it myself, borrowed a part from the Mukden Bank, and then asked the British to solve a part, the most difficult thing at the moment was the arms, the gap was a bit large, but I could also buy it from the Japanese. ”

After Lao Yuan listened, he nodded frequently, Zhang Zuolin was really attentive, and all aspects were coordinated and considered, otherwise he would never be able to send so many people. Thinking of this, Lao Yuan was annoyed, if other local officials could think about themselves like Zhang Zuolin, and then form an army of tens of thousands like playing, where would Cai Yi be arrogant.

"I can tell that Yuting is the real loyal minister, and he thinks about it very thoroughly. I have allocated you 5,000 rifles, plus 12 mountain cannons, to equip the army. In addition, let Yuting expand the independent brigade into the Fengtian garrison division, the strength is too thin, and it can't suppress those half-hearted rebels. ”

Lao Yuan's rebel minister naturally said Feng Delin, the four major forces of Fengtian liliang, and the three agreed to send troops, only he was silent, not what the rebel minister was.

Yuan Shikai handed it over to his female officials, and after a while, he took a bank bill of 500,000 yuan and sent it to Sun Liechen.

Yang Shiqi has followed Yuan Shikai for many years, and when he saw Lao Yuan fall to this step, his heart was also sour. To be honest, he didn't believe that Zhang Zuolin would be loyal to Yuan Shikai, but at this time, he could only be a dead horse and a live horse doctor, and he said to Sun Liechen: "I hope to tell Zhang Shuai and let him live up to Bixia's trust." ”

Sun Liechen's heart had long been happy, and the weapons given by Lao Yuan were enough to equip a brigade, especially the artillery was a good thing that the Feng army lacked. Although the money is not much, it can be regarded as a piece of meat, and the most important thing is that Lao Yuan agreed to expand the Feng army, and Lao Zhang can justifiably have two divisions, and the purpose of coming to Beijing this time has been achieved, and Sun Liechen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

kowtowed to Lao Yuan one after another: "Bixia Tianen, the ministers should keep it in mind, they must bow and die as hard as they can!" ”

Sun Liechen left Xinhua Palace, for the time being he could not return to Fengtian, although Lao Yuan agreed to give the Feng army weapons, but he did not see the rabbit and did not scatter the eagle, and he had to wait for the Feng army to send the army out, so Sun Liechen sent a telegram to Lao Zhang.

After Zhang Zuolin saw it, he was also overjoyed, not only him, Zhang Zuoxiang and others were also ecstatic, this time with a big infamy, jumped out to support Yuan Shikai, it still made a lot of money, and the benefits were beyond imagination.

Lao Zhang immediately appointed Zhang Zuoxiang as the division commander of the Mukden Garrison Division, and Zhang Zuoxiang was successfully promoted, and it coincided with the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were happy smiles in the Zhang Mansion, and the upper and lower levels of the Zhang Mansion gathered together, laughing and laughing.

In addition to Zhang Tinglan and Zhang Tingshu, Zhang Zuoxiang also has several younger children, and even those who are breastfeeding, such as Mrs. Hua Futian and other aunts and wives to take care of these young masters and young ladies.

Zhang Zuoxiang sat together, Zhang Tinglan held a cigarette pouch in his hand and filled Zhang Zuoxiang with a pot of cigarettes.

"Dad, you always try it, this is the most haode Kanto Taiwan film."

Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes lit up and took the cigarette pouch: "This thing was a tribute at the beginning, and only Emperor Laozi could enjoy it." After igniting it, Zhang Zuoxiang took a beautiful puff, spit out a large smoke ring for a while, and said with a smile: "That's right, it does taste unusual!" ”

"I've heard people say that Kanto tablets are different from other cigarettes, they can moisten the lungs and cough, and they can also help digestion!"

After Zhang Zuoxiang finished smoking a bag of cigarettes, he knocked the cigarette pot on the table, and the cigarette ash condensed into one, which did not spread out at all, and fell on the table in a dignified manner. Zhang Tingshu looked at it and became interested: "Big brother, you have something good, why don't you tell me?" ”

"You little kid, what kind of cigarette are you smoking!"

"No smoking, I'll drink." As soon as he said that, Zhang Tingshu turned around, took a large glass wine bottle, shook it at Zhang Tinglan, and then said to Zhang Zuoxiang: "Dad, this thing is said to be drunk by the Tsar's family, and it was sent by Fred's Jew. ”

"Second brother, you can only be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha."

"It took me a lot of effort to find out in your pile of gifts, and it took a lot of sweat."

There were indeed countless people who gave gifts to Zhang Tinglan, and there were several rooms piled up, and Zhang Tinglan didn't bother to clean up, so Zhang Tingshu went to loot a lot of rare things.

The grandfather and the family all poured a cup, but Zhang Tingshu was a little embarrassed, "How should I drink this thing, big brother?" ”

"The Russians call it vodka, and it is said that you have to drink it all in one go to be bold enough."

As soon as Zhang Tinglan finished speaking, Zhang Tingshu poured a glass of wine into his stomach, he only felt that his mouth was like a fire, burning his esophagus, mouth and nose, coughing constantly, and snot and tears came out. Turned around and grabbed the teapot, desperately poured it into his mouth, looking at Zhang Tingshu's embarrassed appearance, Zhang Tinglan couldn't help laughing, the vodka sent by Fred was purer than usual, and the degree was higher, the old drunkard couldn't stand it, how could Zhang Tingshu, a chick, bear it.

After tossing for a while, Zhang Tingshu recovered, and he also knew that Zhang Tinglan deliberately let him be fooled, so he wanted to settle accounts with Zhang Tinglan angrily. At this time, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps, and Zhang Xueliang ran over panting.

"Uncle Lao, humble words, the third aunt's wife is making trouble and becoming a monk, you can help me find a way!" (To be continued......)
