Chapter 178: Choice
The Japanese 41 mountain artillery has no advantages, the biggest advantage is that it is lightweight, only more than 500 kilograms, when necessary, it can be divided into six modules and transported by six mules and horses, which is very suitable for the terrain of the Liaodong Peninsula, and in the Changbai Mountains on the border of China and North Korea, it can also play a very haode effect.
In addition to munitions, more than 600 war horses and more than 1 million yuan of Japanese golden tickets were also captured, which was sent by Okura Kihachiro, a total of 2 million, only more than 500,000 yuan was consumed, and the remaining nearly 150 fell into Zhang Tinglan's pocket.
In addition, although Fang Wenhua ran away by luck under the protection of his subordinates, he also left behind his years of looting, which was more than 300,000 oceans.
At the time of the inventory, Fengjun also found a large quantity of opium in a secret warehouse, with five or six thousand boxes. After investigation, it was discovered that the opium was cultivated in Korea, and the Japanese took advantage of Fang Wenhua's connections to sell a large amount of opium to the three eastern provinces, amassing wealth and mutilating the bodies of the Chinese people.
After getting the news, Zhang Tinglan also let go of Zuihou's concerns, the Japanese can sell opium, and they can sell morphine, depending on who is more ruthless.
When the Feng army was hurrying to clear up, staff officer Zhao Pei ran over in a panic, his face was pale and pale, and his lips were still a little trembling.
"Commander Zhang, something is wrong, Fang Wendong telegraphed to announce that he has joined the Fengtian Protector Army!" Zhao Pei sent the electricity to Zhang Tinglan.
"Commander Zhang, pay attention to the signature, the first in line is the envoy of Ma Town."
Fang Wendong's rebellion is not surprising at all, on the contrary, it is strange that he can hold back and not rebel. However, Ma Longtan also joined the rebels, and Zhang Tinglan was a little surprised. In my impression, although Ma Longtan is a little mediocre, he is still clear about right and wrong, and he will not make such a mistake.
However, now that the situation is complicated, Zhang Tinglan hurriedly asked his subordinates to escort He Tianjiong over to see how much information he knew. At this time, Yang Yuting also rushed over, don't look at the Feng army quickly broke through Donggang and seized the lead, but the real trouble has just begun, how many liliang does Fang Wendong have in his hands. How the Japanese will respond is the most pressing question at present.
The burden on his and Zhang Tinglan's shoulders is very heavy, and if one wrong step is taken, the situation in southern Liaoning will be difficult to manage. There was a sound of handcuffs, and several guards escorted He Tianjiong over. But at this time, his image is a little embarrassed, and his eyes are blue. The bridge of the nose was also knocked down. Bleeding out constantly.
The clothes were also torn, and there was blood foam on them, and there was no trace of the old Sven.
"Mr. He, it seems that you and Honjo Fan really have a good relationship, and the way you deal with each other is so special, it's really admirable."
He Tianjiong's face turned red. I wanted to refute a few words, but I didn't know what to say, so they and Honjo were bet together, and both sides complained to each other. Immediately after that, he started to fight, and He Tianjiong received a few punches and was beaten very miserably.
"He Tianjiong, tell everything you know, don't hide a word, you should be clear about the virtues of the Japanese, is it worth giving them your life!"
He Tianjiong's head also lowered: "Head Zhang, I have explained everything, can you give me a way to live, in the future, I will be incognito, often accompanied by green lights, and I will never ask about the world." ”
Zhang Tinglan nodded and said, "Everything depends on your performance, and I am not a person who rushes to kill." ”
After He Tianjiong heard this, he seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Head Zhang, I must have something to say, and I will never hide it." ”
"Very well, you can tell me about the plans of the Japanese, what are their arrangements?"
He Tianjiong thought for a while, and then said: "Commander Zhang, when you attacked Donggang, Honjo Fan told us that if we hold out for three days, the Japanese Kwantung Army will be mobilized and will send us supplies, but I didn't expect you to move so fast, and you broke Donggang in less than a day, making all calculations empty." ”
"What's going on with the Fang family brothers, how much do you know?" Zhang Tinglan stared at He Tianjiong with both eyes, and said with a smile: "He Tianjiong, the Japanese are capricious, don't you put yourself in it." ”
He Tianjiong suddenly hit a wit, don't look at Zhang Tinglan talking with a smile, but with a bone-chilling chill, he would pull out a gun at any time, which collapsed He Tianjiong.
"Commander Zhang, I don't know the specific situation, it was just agreed that we would first raise the banner of rebellion, and then occupy Donggang and open up the communication line between Luda and Fengcheng, and then Fang Wendong persuaded the officers of Dongbian Road to join the Protector Army together!"
Zhang Tinglan and Yang Yuting glanced at each other, according to He Tianjiong's intelligence, they basically had a grasp of the overall situation, and after letting He Tianjiong take him down, they all walked to the front of the map.
Yang Yuting frowned, and said worriedly: "Humble words, the situation is very bad, if according to He Tianjiong, the Japanese will send troops in the next step, and their direction will definitely be Zhuanghe, Donggang, and then directly get in touch with Fang Wendong in Fengcheng." Although we have taken Donggang and cut off this line, the Japanese have invested so much this time, they will definitely not stop easily. ”
The Japanese are the smallest in their hearts and the most willing to hold grudges, in order to arm the Revolutionary Party and the Zongshe Party, they have taken out so many artillery and military supplies, and now they have fallen into the hands of Zhang Tinglan, can they be willing, maybe they know that after the fall of Donggang, they will be angry and angry, and they will send troops faster.
"In addition, I estimate that Fengcheng has completely fallen into the hands of Fang Wendong, he still has thousands of men and horses in his hands, these troops have been suppressing bandits all the year round, and their combat effectiveness is not weak, Fang Wendong is not comparable to his brother Fang Wenhua, and he has been operating in Dongbian Road for many years, and his minions are sharp, which is very difficult to deal with."
Zhang Tinglan also nodded, basically agreeing with Yang Yuting's judgment: "Neighbor Ge, what do you say we should do?" ”
"It's not enough for us to divide into two roads, so I suggest that we immediately withdraw to Zhuanghe and completely cut off the way for the Japanese to go north, as long as there is no Japanese mixing, Fang Wendong will be isolated, and then let the marshal transfer troops and take Fang Wendong down!"
Yang Yuting's suggestion is very safe. Zhang Tinglan thought about it again and again, and found that this was the most haode choice, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to quickly finish the battlefield, and after a short rest, they rushed to the aid of Zhuanghe!
Just when Zhang Tinglan was preparing nervously, Zhang Zuolin of Fengtian had already received the report, and when he heard that Ma Longtan's subordinates had colluded with the Japanese, he was immediately angry and gathered all the civil and military officers under him.
"Humble Yan has just sent a telegram, and Fang Wendong, a brute, is ready to pull the flag and rebel. Let's talk about what to do. ”
"What else do you need to say, just hit it!" Zhang Jinghui said loudly on the side: "We are strong and strong, are we still afraid of a Fang Wendong, besides, the eldest brother is in trouble, and the brother should take action." We can't just watch Big Brother Ma go out of danger. ”
Zhang Jinghui's words are good, in fact, he just wants to take advantage of this opportunity. Drive Ma Longtan down completely. Although everyone is a sworn brother, but if they get in the way, they will not end well.
These words are in Zhang Zuolin's arms, and he is also a resolute advocate of fighting, but he contradicts who should be sent over, and it stands to reason that the most suitable person is Zhang Zuoxiang. He and Zhang Tinglan cooperated and were intimate, and they just took down the East Side Road in one fell swoop, but Lao Zhang also had a trace of worry in his heart.
As a superior person. Let the subordinates maintain balance is the most important thing, now that the power in the hands of the Zhang family father and son is already very large, and then let them extend Shili to southern Liaoning, Lao Zhang can't help but feel a little mustard in his heart.
Zhang Zuoxiang had already seen it, so he said with a smile: "Dashuai, I think let the sixth brother go over with the twenty-seventh division, he has the best relationship with Brother Ma, and it just so happens that Brother Ma is in danger, so he should go over." ”
Zhang Zuoxiang took the initiative to take a step back, and Lao Zhang was also very happy in his heart, and wanted Sun Liechen to lead troops to quell the rebellion, but at this moment, Yu Chonghan hurriedly ran over with a telegram.
"Dashuai, the big thing is not good, Yuan Shikai suddenly appointed Feng Delin as the assistant of Fengtian military affairs, and Division Commander Feng has issued a telegram, asking to improve the treatment of the assistant yamen and sit on an equal footing with the marshal!"
This news came suddenly, and all the people present were frightened, Lao Yuan had something wrong with his brain, obviously Fengtian was messed up enough, and he still gave Feng Delin an official at this juncture, which clearly made Lao Feng pull Zhang Zuolin's hind legs, did he want to watch Fengtian's soldiers end up in trouble?
Zhang Zuolin snatched the telegram and looked at it carefully, and Lao Feng not only demanded that the treatment of the assistant yamen be improved, but also demanded that the arrears of military salaries be settled at one time, and that money be allocated to the 28th Division to expand its armament.
In the face of such an unreasonable request, Lao Zhang was so angry that he was like thunder, and everyone present was constantly calculating in their hearts.
"Brother Feng is very capable, jumping out at this time, it is clear that he wants to pull our hind legs, doesn't he know that there are rebels in southern Liaoning!" Sun Liechen's face was gloomy, behind the affairs of southern Liaoning was Japan manipulating, at this time Feng Delin jumped out again, does it mean that Lao Feng also colluded with the Japanese, if this is the case, then the situation will be difficult to clean up!
"Marshal, Division Commander Feng has mobilized his elite soldiers and is ready to come to Fengtian, you can get an idea." After Yu Chonghan said this, he closed his mouth very interestingly, and now the choice fell into Zhang Zuolin's hands.
If you want to deal with Feng Delin's provocation, you have to garrison a large number of troops in Fengtian, and the 27th Division will not be able to be transferred, but if the 27th Division is not transferred, Fengcheng will have problems again, and Lao Zhang will not be able to watch the rebels become bigger, otherwise the entire southern Liaoning will be in danger.
Lao Zhang was forced into a corner all of a sudden, and he couldn't give up at both ends, but he had limited liliang in his hands, and Zhang Zuolin had no idea how to choose.
"Dashuai, Fengtian is the fundamental place, there is no room for mistakes, southern Liaoning is also related to the territory of the country, the general righteousness of the nation, it is equally important, how to distribute troops, it is really too difficult!" Wang Yongjiang didn't expect things to come to this point, these things happened one after another, obviously not isolated, but with careful planning and preparation, interlocking, so that Zhang Zuolin took care of one thing and lost the other.
Lao Zhang also knew this very well, so he was also extremely embarrassed, pacing back and forth on the ground. At this time, two more telegrams came, one was that Fang Wendong was the one who had rebelled, and the other was a distress telegram sent by Zhang Tinglan, asking Lao Zhang to send troops to destroy Fang Wendong.
The atmosphere in the Tiger Hall became more and more solemn, and everyone seemed to be out of breath, and everyone kept asking themselves what to do and whether there was a way to get the best of both worlds.
Just when everyone was worried, Zhang Zuoxiang suddenly spoke: "Dashuai, you still sit in Fengtian, and leave the affairs of southern Liaoning to me." ”
Zhang Zuoxiang took the initiative to ask, but Lao Zhang suddenly stopped and asked with some hesitation: "Fu Chen, how many troops are you going to bring over." ”
"It turned out that the second regiment of the independent brigade was taken away by Humble Yan, I just took the first regiment with me, although Fang Wendong was aggressive, but the military and the people's hearts were not on his side, and it was not difficult to eliminate him."
Lao Zhang didn't want to send Zhang Zuoxiang to southern Liaoning, but now that the situation has changed abruptly, let Zhang Zuoxiang pass, and their father and son cooperate, which is already the most haode choice, and he will take the 27th division to guard Fengtian and guard against Feng Delin.
Zhang Zuolin turned around on the ground a few more times, and then said: "Fu Chen, you are now the acting town guard of the Eastern Side Road, and you will immediately send troops to quell the rebellion." (To be continued......)
