1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 277

After the country was electrified, Fang Benren followed the wishes of the National Government and appointed Zhang Hanqing as the Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Border Defense, and Yang Yuting as a member of the National Government and the Northern Political Affairs Committee.

Zhang Hanqing happily accepted and was about to take the oath of office on the high platform. Yang Yuting in the audience snorted a few times, completely refused to accept the arrangement of the National Government, and walked out directly, causing Zhang Hanqing to lose face again in front of a group of celebrities.

Ye Luo could feel the anger gushing out of Zhang Hanqing.

After dinner at the auditorium restaurant at noon, Zhang Hanqing saw off waves of guests, and then grandly received the Ye Luo couple who came from afar at the Marshal's Mansion.

Without a group of people to be an eyesore, Zhang Hanqing and Ye Luo, who had taken off their disguises, stood shoulder to shoulder and called themselves brothers, finally feeling a lot more relaxed.

The two men were eating and drinking in the living room, and Yu Fengzhi took a group of women to hang out in a famous department store in Fengtian.

"This Yang Yuting relies on his old age and is really abominable! When my father was alive, he always claimed to be his father-in-law, formed cliques, and colluded with party members. After my father passed away, Yang Yuting took credit and was arrogant. He just didn't call me commander in military meetings. , and still shouting Young Marshal all day long. My father is gone, can’t I bear the title of Marshal? "

Zhang Hanqing spat out a circle in his eye, his eyes were stern, and he had a murderous intention towards Yang Yuting.

Ye Luo was quite surprised that he could show his true emotions in front of him.

I don't know whether I should say that this northern leader is really a sweetheart, or whether I should say that he is not stable enough.

"I heard that people still call me Sixth Son behind their backs, haha." Zhang Hanqing took out a dozen letters from under the coffee table, "This is what the Japanese invaders sent me. It is said to be a private message from Yang Yuting who conspired with the Japanese invaders. He wanted to secretly usurp the military power in the north. . By the way, the Japanese invaders also sent me a book "Japan's Foreign History" and used a red pen to outline a historical fact about Toyotomi Hideyori being overthrown by the powerful minister Tokugawa Ieyasu, implying that Yang was Tokugawa Ieyasu and I was Toyotomi Hide. rely."

"Commander, this is sowing discord, don't believe it." Although Ye Luo doesn't like Yang Yuting either, the Japanese invaders are ambitious and must not let them succeed. "These Japanese invaders like to sow discord among the Chinese. If you believe it, But I got tricked.”

"I won't believe everything. The Japanese invaders have a grudge against me for killing my father. I believe everyone's words, but I don't believe theirs." Zhang Hanqing patted Ye Luo on the shoulder, "A Luo, I'll call you here this time. In fact, we have something important to entrust to you.”

"Please tell me, Commander."

"In private, you can just call me big brother. Anyone who is not a commander is out of sight."

"Brother, could it be Miss Zhao Si's business?" Ye Luo knows this romantic man very well. He invited his wife all the way to Fengtian to participate in the flag-changing ceremony. As a businessman, this has nothing to do with him and he can't do this. .

It was obvious that Zhang Hanqing had something to say, but due to the distance, he had to call him under the guise of a visit.

"The one who knows me is A Luo!" Zhang Hanqing nodded, "Xiang Sheng is not living well now. My eldest sister is not easy to mess with."

"Brother, do you want to give Miss Zhao Si a status?" Ye Luo understood.

Zhang Hanqing continued to nod and said: "I don't want to be like Ruiyu and let her have the status of concubine, but at least she won't be targeted like this by my eldest sister. There is also the Zhao family. My father-in-law is very dissatisfied with me, which is also a problem. "

"I know, I'll take care of these things. I'll get it done by the end of the year at the latest." Ye Luo already had a plan in mind and said to him with a smile.

"Oh, I feel so sorry for bothering you so much every time. Aluo, if you have any difficulties recently, please tell me and see if I can help you as a thank you gift." Zhang Hanqing said with a smile.

Ye Luo was not pretentious. He had been troubled by a few troubles recently, so he nodded and said, "I had a dispute with some water bandits a while ago. They have the backing of big shots, so it's not easy to deal with."

"What big shot dares to support the water bandits?" Zhang Hanqing disdained the kind of military and political figures who colluded with the bandits the most, and in front of him, there were really not many people who dared to call themselves big shots. He smiled disdainfully, "The water bandits you are talking about, and Is it related to 'bandit suppression'?"

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment. Could this be a wrong idea? He quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, they are Taihu water bandits, a group of weaklings, led by Wei Laosan and others. Behind them are Chen Zemin and Chen Zhongfu, a lawyer association member. Chief, a director of the Anhui Provincial Department of Finance."

"Oh, I've heard a little bit about the Taihu water bandits." Zhang Hanqing asked about what happened, and smiled when he heard that these water bandits dared to kidnap the French Consul General.

"Brother, if you have time, I hope you can talk to the principal. It's not right to keep such a scourge behind. I'm just afraid that Chen Zemin and Chen Zhongfu will interfere with it. These people occupy the main road between Shanghai Bund and Suzhou City, which affects both the people and the country. unfavorable."

Zhang Hanqing knew Ye Luo's character very well. He said so, it was just a favor. Zhang Hanqing immediately called the secretary and called the principal urgently, hoping that the other party would make arrangements.

The principal who was in the office at this time received the call to change the flag. He felt very comfortable after learning that the Fengtian Provincial Office, agencies, schools, and shops were all flying red flags with blue sky and white sun on the ground, and the flags were changed in Rehe and other places at the same time.

He asked Deng Wenyi to reply by phone, expressing his unconditional condolences for Yi Zhi's telegram. The content of the secret message read: "From now on, we will repair internal and external affairs, build a lot of things, relieve people who are in need, and accept people's goods and materials. We are willing to work with all my brothers on this."

Various departments of the Jinling National Government also sent a message to Zhang Hanqing: "We have high hopes for achieving reunification and defending the border. We work together as one."

"Principal, Zhang Hanqing sent a secret message again." Deng Wenyi came over holding the information and briefly talked about the Taihu water bandits.

"How did Chen Zemin and Chen Zhongfu provoke Zhang Hanqing?" The principal was puzzled, but now that he and Beifang were in the honeymoon period, he naturally agreed to this trivial matter, "No matter what, we must satisfy him first. You will call Chen Tiaoyuan later." , he is now in charge of the government and military affairs of Anhui Province, and asked him to transfer Chen Zhongfu to Qingdao as the commissioner of the reception office. As for Chen Zemin, let the people in Suzhou and Shanghai hammer it."

"Yes." Deng Wenyi stood at attention and saluted.

Eight o'clock in the evening, the Marshal's Mansion.

Ye Luo and Zhang Hanqing had dinner, and probably drank a lot of wine. When talking about Gu Ruiyu, who had divorced him, he sighed, not wanting Zhao Yidi to follow in his footsteps.

"Does Miss Gu still live in Fengtian?" Ye Luo asked with a smile.

Zhang Hanqing blinked: "I bought her a villa in Fengtian, and we get together occasionally. Speaking of which, she also said that a friend wants to visit you tonight."

"Friends? I don't have many friends in Fengtian." Ye Luo was confused.

"Then I don't know. Anyway, she said that friend wants to meet you alone, and we will wait until we meet to discuss the details." Zhang Hanqing had an ambiguous smile on his face, which made Ye Luo even more curious.

His connections in the north are average, why would anyone want to see him alone?
