After Kawashima Naniwa finished speaking, Katsuta Nakamichi also said: "I completely agree with Mr. Kawashima, Zhang Zuolin is an extremely dangerous figure, he is very different from ordinary Chinese warlords. Zhang Zuolin is not a reckless man who only knows how to lead troops to fight. He knows that the financial liliang is extremely concerned about rural issues, you must know that the rise and fall of China for thousands of years has a close relationship with the countryside, from all angles, Zhang Zuolin is the most far-sighted local leader, once developed, it will definitely become a major obstacle to the empire. ”

Everyone present also nodded, they also agreed with this judgment very much, after listening to Okura Kihachiro, he nodded and said: "You can't give Zhang Zuolin any more time to develop, we must take him as soon as possible, even if the country does not support it, we must take action, only a real warrior can take on this mission, Mr. Kawashima, do you have the right candidate?" ”

Kawashima Nanisu hurriedly said: "Okura-kun, don't worry, the two young officers of the Kwantung Army, Date Shunnosuke and Nakamura Yutaka, have taken the lead in forming the Manchurian Death Regiment, and they are willing to use their lives to assassinate Zhang Zuolin and sacrifice themselves for Emperor Bixia!" ”

The duty of the military is to obey, pay attention to orders and prohibitions, and at the same time soldiers must not interfere in politics, but the middle and lower rank officers in Japan are proud of their rebellion, and they also actively mix in politics that they are not good at, as is the case with the formation of the Manchu and Mongolian Death Regiment.

Since the end of the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army has gained supreme glory and power, but at the same time, it has lost its restraint and control like a wild dog, and the heads of middle and lower-ranking officers are full of thoughts such as dedicating themselves to the emperor, conquering Manchuria, and enslaving China.

These fanatical officers did not realize their madness in the slightest, nor did they realize that their actions would lead Japan into the abyss from which they would never recover, but instead supported the belief that they were for the sake of Japan's future. The fanatical militaristic enthusiasm has allowed the small island nation to defeat two powerful enemies one after another, but gamblers will eventually lose the gamble one day!

Of course, these things Okura Kihachiro still can't imagine, as an old chaebol, Okura doesn't have such fanatical respect for the emperor, what can make him crazy is only interests, Liaonan counterinsurgency made him suffer heavy losses, and then gave him a resounding slap in the face.

Not only did they fail to catch evidence of Zhang Zuolin's smuggling, but on the contrary, they also abolished Meng Enyuan's card, and wanted to expand their economic interests in Jilin in the future. It will definitely be affected, and Okura has already regarded Zhang Zuolin as the biggest stumbling block, and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible. As for Kawashima Naniwa and those young officers, they were just pawns in his hands.

"Mr. Kawashima, do you have any detailed jihua?"

"We are tentatively preparing to start on May 27th. On this day, Prince Zaihito will return to Japan from Petrograd. Zhang Zuolin must return to the station to greet him. At this time, we can set up an ambush and kill Zhang Zuolin in one fell swoop. ”

Since Zhang Zuolin had a conflict with the Japanese, he has paid great attention to all kinds of actions, which can be said to be in-depth and simple, and there are many guards around him. After Wang Yongjiang took charge of government affairs, he handed over the police to Su Liangzhen for control. Su Liangzhen has good ability, and he has built Fengtian up and down like an iron pass, which is impervious to wind and rain.

In this case, he wanted to assassinate Zhang Zuolin. It's definitely not an easy thing, Kawashima Naniwa They have wanted it for a long time, and only by taking advantage of the opportunity of the emperor's younger brother passing by Mukden can they attack Lao Zhang.

After listening to this, Kihachiro Okura nodded: "This timing is very good, there is still half a month to go, you have to let those warriors train quickly, don't have any slack, I will provide them with financial help!" ”

With Okura's guarantee, Kawashima Naniwa was suddenly beaming with joy and went to arrange.

These guys are secretly discussing here, Lao Zhang is not clear, he is still immersed in joy, and the powerful public opinion offensive makes Duan Qirui finally relent, and has preliminarily agreed to let Bao Guiqing serve as the overseer of Jilin and transfer Meng Enyuan back to Beijing.

Lao Zhang has long had the ambition to annex the three eastern provinces, but he didn't expect that the speed would be so fast, just unified Fengtian, and then took Jilin, as long as the time is ripe, and then take Heilongjiang into his hands, he will become a veritable king of the Northeast.

"Dashuai, Meng Enyuan still refuses to hand over the handsome seal, and is gathering the remnants to prepare to resist to the death, what do you think should be done?"

Yang Yuting reported the news he had just gotten to Lao Zhang, Zhang Zuolin scolded with a smile: "Damn, Meng Enyuan is still a little bloody, but he doesn't want to fight with us, a regiment is transferred from the cavalry division, a regiment is also transferred from the 27th division, plus a brigade led by Fu Chen, let's gather 10,000 horses and horses to escort my old in-laws into Jiji, Meng Enyuan still wants to stop him, and he wants his life!" ”

Lao Zhang is also a decisive figure, once he decides to do it, he will definitely not be polite, Fengtian got Zhang Zuolin's order, and hurriedly launched the deployment of troops, in addition to preparing the army, Zhang Zuolin also asked Zhang Tinglan to help Zhang Luo with a loan of two million oceans.

This money is used as a reserve fund to buy the Jijun army and appease the local government, and Jilin's taxes are used as a guarantee, for this kind of loan Zhang Tinglan raised his hands in favor, and this time let Bao Guiqing pick up a bargain, but Zhang Tinglan can't benefit at all.

With this loan, Zhang Tinglan can blatantly use economic means to control Jilin, and even find a way to override Bao Guiqing, everything depends on whether this new Bao Dashuai is smart enough.

Zhang Zuolin had almost prepared everything, and Bao Guiqing finally got an official appointment and became the overseer of Jilin. After Lao Duan came to power, he was brewing reforms, and it turned out that Lao Yuan was engaged in the general's government system, and the governors of all provinces were changed from feudal officials to officials sent by the central government.

However, Lao Duan found that the effect was still very limited, and the authority of the local princes was still getting heavier and heavier, so Duan Qirui decided to implement the system of overseers and governors, with the overseers in charge of military affairs and the governors in charge of civil affairs, so that mutual restraints were formed, and Bao Guiqing became the first overseer.

From Beijing all the way north, received a warm welcome, in the past two years Bao Guiqing has managed the Beijing Lecture Hall, in fact, he has been marginalized, and now the salted fish has turned over, ascended to the sky in one step, and directly became a prince, he is still very proud.

But what followed was full distress, he, the overseer, was sandwiched between Beiyang and his in-laws, where to go, Bao Guiqing was a little embarrassed.

His special train soon arrived in Fengtian, Zhang Zuolin led his civil and military officers, to the station to meet Bao Guiqing, the two grew up together, and they are children and daughters, and now they are all feudal officials of a province, after meeting each other, they are also very emotional, arm in arm, board the carriage together, and return to the Shuaifu.

That night, Lao Zhang prepared a warm welcome banquet, and all the high-ranking officials in Fengtian gathered, and everyone pushed their cups and changed their lamps, and the atmosphere was very warm. After Lao Zhang drank two cups, he took Bao Guiqing's hand and said: "In-laws, if you go to Jilin this time, you can rest assured, you want a gun and a gun, and you want money and money. ”

"What the Yuting soldiers are pointing to is like a broken bamboo, and the Feng army is full of capable warriors, which I know very well." Bao Guiqing complimented him a few words, then changed his words and continued: "But Meng Enyuan is an old man in Beiyang after all, and he has been an official in the same dynasty for many years, so we also have to give him a way to live, and he has to be forgiving and forgiving, don't you say?" ”

When Zhang Zuolin heard this, he was slightly unhappy in his heart, Fengjun exerted his strength to take down Meng Enyuan, and then Lao Zhang pulled Bao Guiqing on the cold bench up and asked him to take over Jilin. Don't forget who gave you this position!

Although Lao Zhang was unhappy in his heart, he didn't show it at all, he still talked and laughed, and when he talked about being happy, Wang Yongjiang suddenly picked up his wine glass, gave Bao Guiqing a glass of wine, and then said: "Bao Dashuai, you and Yu Shuai are good for Qin and Jin, and we should do the same between the two provinces in the future, take care of each other and help each other." Compared with Mukden, Jilin is a little backward, and I suggest that the two sides should carry out comprehensive cooperation and exchange information for the benefit of the people of the two provinces. ”

Wang Yongjiang raised the question of cooperation at this wine table, which seems to be random, but in fact it also has a deep meaning, Bao Guiqing's overseer army was defeated by Fengjun, Fengtian contributed people and made Bao Guiqing famous, then he should give the benefits to Fengtian, if Fengtian is not beneficial, wouldn't he become a stupid boy!

Zhang Zuolin also knows that the so-called brothers settle accounts, and this kind of thing really needs to be explained, so Lao Zhang said with a smile: "In-laws, we should really help each other, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Naturally, it's the best, now Jilin is in ruins, and it urgently needs Fengtian's help, it's not a secret, on the way here, I just want to turn into a fate!"

"Hehe, old in-laws, I discussed with Humble Yan and asked Fengtian Bank to provide you with a loan of two million oceans, mainly for rectifying the army and restoring local security, do you think it is enough?"

Bao Guiqing thought for a while and said: "Yuting, this time the main force of the Ji army has suffered a lot of losses, if you want to recover quickly, you need a lot of financial resources, I think it will take at least five million?" ”

This amount is indeed a bit unexpected for Zhang Zuolin, he is a little embarrassed, Wang Yongjiang suddenly spoke: "Bao Dashuai, I have an idea, you are looking at it, that is, to mortgage Jilin's official bank, Jilin and Fengtian will be the same in the future, and the exchange between the two provinces will be convenient in the future. ”

When Bao Guiqing heard this, there was a trace of astonishment on his face, he has been an official for so many years, what is not clear, Meng Enyuan weishenme and Zhang Zuolin are at war, it is not Lao Zhang who wants to move other people's monetary power, if he also gives Zhang Zuolin the right to issue currency, then he will completely become Lao Zhang's subordinate and follower.

"Don't be in a hurry in everything, I think it's better to understand the people's situation first, as for the army, there is no hurry to rectify, two million is enough!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became a little weird, and Lao Zhang suddenly smiled: "In-laws Gaojian, I will arrange someone to send you to Jilin to take up a post, and we will talk about other things later, let's put this piece of meat in the bowl first!"
