"President, great news, don't be in a hurry to send a telegram!" Zhang Guogan ran to Li Yuanhong panting, and sent a telegram to Li Yuanhong, Li Bodhisattva took it with trembling hands, Looking at the above content, I burst into tears and became extremely excited, and shouted repeatedly: "The pillar of the Yuting country! The pillar of the country!"

No wonder Li Bodhisattva was so excited. Since Zhang Xun started the restoration operation, Li Yuanhong knew that he had been fooled by Duan Qirui, so he ran to Dongjiaomin Lane, hid in the embassy area, and then wanted to electrify and go down to the field to let Vice President Feng Guozhang take over. big president.

In fact, Li Yuanhong has a hundred reluctances in his heart, but he has no soldiers and no generals, and he has no way to clean up the mess. Zhu Qinglan, Sun Liechen, Zhang Jinghui and others jointly issued a telegram, supporting Li Yuanhong as the commander-in-chief of the anti-rebel army, and Zhang Zuolin recognized himself as a military member of the anti-rebel military command.

In the original history, Duan Qirui was the commander-in-chief of the rebellion army. The old Duan gathered three groups of rebel troops and drove Zhang Xun out of Beijing, realizing the reputation of the three-made republic.

However, because the old Duan betrayed the interests of the three eastern provinces, Fengjun and Duan Qirui had serious discord. Zhang Tinglan knew that he would not suppress Duan Qirui's limelight and ruin the loan agreement between him and the Japanese. There is always a sword hanging over Feng Jun's head, and the Japanese can use excuses to attack at any time.

Especially after World War I, the power of the Japanese expanded rapidly. If Feng Jun insisted on being tough, a full-scale war with Japan might break out in advance. Zhang Tinglan did not have the confidence to deal with it, so this hidden danger must be resolved.

That's why Zhang Tinglan came up with an idea to ask Lao Zhang to take the lead in seeking rebellion, and at the same time hand over the title of commander-in-chief to President Li Yuanhong.According to the Constitution of the Republic of China.Li Yuanhong is the commander-in-chief of the armed forces. Although no one in the world takes this identity seriously, it is well deserved to have Li Bodhisattva as the commander-in-chief at this time.

Everyone in the world must praise Zhang Zuolin for being sensible, understanding the general situation, and taking care of the overall situation.Moreover, Lao Zhang didn't know good from bad, and considered himself a deputy commander-in-chief. Instead, he proposed a military committee system. Under the command of the commander-in-chief, other commanders of the rebellious army could become military committee members.If there is anything, let's discuss it together.

After this method was put forward, in front of the people of the world, it was upright, no matter how reasonable it was.There is nothing wrong with respecting the president, but he lowered his posture again.Actively engage in the committee system.It is an expression of humility.

However, this seemingly comprehensive solution has tricked one person, and that is Duan Qirui!Originally, Duan Qirui planned to be the commander-in-chief, but Li Yuanhong took his title away. If he joined the rebel army, he could only become a military commissar under Li Yuanhong.Status plummeted.

As Lao Duan's confidant and think tank, Xu Shuzheng was also furious after seeing the power-up, and scolded Zhang Zuolin for being shameless.

"Zhi Weng. We can't let Zhang Zuolin be at the mercy of us. We might as well reorganize the rebellion army, leave Li Yuanhong and Zhang Zuolin aside, and we can deal with Zhang Xun ourselves."

Duan Qirui thought for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile: "Youzheng, you didn't understand, Zhang Zuolin's move was too ruthless, he has grabbed our fate, there is no way to oppose it!"

Lao Duan has a lot of experience, so he quickly figured out what Zhang Zuolin meant. If he wanted to destroy Zhang Xun, Duan Qirui must not be able to do it alone. Other Beiyang veterans would also participate, such as Cao Kun, Chen Guangyuan, etc. Everyone will participate, if according to the old Duan's plan, they will be Duan Qirui's subordinates, and if I want to listen to the old Duan's order, the first work will be Duan Qirui's.

If they follow Zhang Zuolin's arrangement, they will all be eligible to become military committee members, which means that the big guys are all heroes who rebuilt the republic, and they will be on an equal footing with Duan Qirui. With such a good thing in front of them, will Cao Kun and the others miss their chance!

Duan Qirui is very clear about the mentality of the Beiyang veteran. Like Yuan Shikai, Duan Qirui is not the master of Beiyang, he is just a leader. When the old Yuan was the emperor, the big guys didn't want him to kneel, so they all opposed it The imperial system, now Feng Shui turns, everyone does not want to give all the credit to Duan Qirui, and will definitely support Zhang Zuolin's proposition.

After Xu Shuzheng calmed down, he also wanted to understand, and secretly gritted his teeth: "What a powerful little guy, I didn't expect a person who was born as a bandit to have such a deep scheming, and he will definitely be a big threat in the future."

"What will happen in the future will be discussed in the future. The task now is to eliminate Zhang Xun as soon as possible, and we can't let Fengjun take the credit for rebellion!"

The old Duan was like eating a fly, feeling uncomfortable no matter how he thought about it, but Lao Zhang was very satisfied at this time. After his telegram was sent out, Li Yuanhong and Cao Kun successively issued telegrams. Li Yuanhong said that everything was safe and he supported Zhang Zuolin's proposition , although his ability is limited, he is willing to serve as the commander-in-chief and contribute to the eradication of rebellion.

With Li Bodhisattva's statement, Feng Jun got the name of righteousness, and also had the sword of Shang Fang in his hand.Cao Kun is powerful in Beiyang, and he is a powerful figure second only to Duan Qirui and Feng Guozhang. He issued a telegram, expressing his support for Lao Zhang's decision, and announcing the organization of the West Route Army to fight against the rebels, and immediately send troops to eliminate braids military.

Cao Kun formed the West Route Army, and Feng Jun is naturally the North Route Army. Duan Qirui, the dignified prime minister, can only take the post of commander of the East Route Army now, and more than two-thirds of his good credit has been taken away by others. Don't mention how depressed Duan is, but he can only endure it and act as soon as possible, otherwise the peaches will be picked by others.

In fact, among the three armies, the Fengjun is the farthest away, but some time ago, the Fengjun proposed to conduct large-scale military exercises. There are a large number of heavily armed soldiers along the Jingfeng Railway, and they are well prepared. Entered a quasi-wartime system.

Therefore, Fengjun's action speed is the fastest. Between Fengtian and Shanhaiguan, Fengjun has 28 divisions, an artillery regiment, a cavalry regiment, and many road guards, as well as a new regiment. They are all put into practice.

Now there is no need for exercises, and they have all become rebel troops. Sun Liechen is the commander-in-chief, Zhang Tinglan is also the deputy commander-in-chief, Yang Yuting is the chief of staff, and Zhang Xueliang is also the commander of the artillery regiment.

A total of more than [-] Fengjun troops moved southward with lightning speed, ahead of everyone else.Zhang Xun electrified the restoration in the morning, and Lao Zhang opposed it by electrifying in the afternoon, while Feng Jun dispatched overnight, took the train, went directly south, and passed Shanhaiguan at four o'clock in the morning the next day.

Then the army went south all the way, unimpeded, after passing Tangshan, Tianjin was ahead, and at this time Qirui was still in Tianjin to rectify the army.According to the fine tradition of the Beiyang Army, if you want to send troops, you must pay enough for the start-up fee and supplement the military salary. No matter how fast these things are, it will take two or three days. However, Fengjun appeared in Tianjin City in less than a day. Besides, we are going to Beijing soon.

Now Duan Qirui was furious, and Xu Shuzheng was also furious. This little Zhuge found Lao Duan.

"Prime Minister, let's just cut off the Beijing-Fengyang Railway and block the Fengjun's way forward, so that they don't want to take credit for it!"

Old Duan frowned. To be honest, he really had this idea. After thinking about it in his heart, he said: "You Zheng, we can't refuse it explicitly. I think we should first control the railway locomotives, and then stop their trains." Add coal and water, so that the Feng army will not be able to march quickly."

Lao Duan was originally unwilling to use these villainous tricks, but now that Feng Jun forced him to do so, Lao Duan had no choice but to do so. He absolutely couldn't stand Feng Jun taking the lead, and Xu Shuzheng just took orders to leave.The city of Tianjin became lively. Countless citizens, workers, and students were organized, holding various colorful flags and slogans in their hands, and flocked to Tianjin Railway Station together like a festival.

Accompanying the parade were many newspaper reporters, shouting from front to back and embracing it. It was very lively. After seeing this scene, Xiao Xu was also taken aback. They were dispatched, and if they found out what they were doing under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one would be able to bear the consequences.

Xu Shuzheng was so angry that his teeth were itching, whoever was sabotaging his good deeds behind his back, he couldn't be killed.Xiao Xu hurriedly arranged people to inquire. After learning the news, Xiao Xu became honest. The Zhou family organized this operation, led by Zhou Xuexi.

Not to mention Xu Shuzheng, even Duan Qirui dared not offend the Zhou family casually. Since the late Qing Dynasty, the Zhou family has been officials for several generations. They have a strong network in Beiyang, have great influence, and bear the name of the leader of the Northern Industry. , even foreigners have had a close relationship with them, with such a background, how dare Xu Shuzheng make trouble.

Xiao Xu is also a little puzzled, the Zhou family has always been low-key, why come out to support Fengjun at this time, and then sent someone to inquire carefully, and finally figured it out, the Zhou family married with Fengtian not long ago, Zhou's five Master's daughter Zhou Xinyao is going to be betrothed to Zhang Tinglan, the eldest son of Zhang Zuoxiang.

The two families are going to become relatives. This time, Zhang Tinglan will serve as the deputy commander-in-chief of the Fengjun. His status is still higher than that of the young marshal Zhang Xueliang. He is the leader of the new generation of Fengjun. Can't say anything.

Moreover, the news of Fan Xudong's entrepreneurship in Fengtian also spread to Tianjin, which had a great impact on the industrial community. Although these businessmen did not want to move their industries to Fengtian, they also wanted to express their goodwill to Fengjun through warm welcome, which also forced Beiyang to make a move. Some changes have made more support for the industry, so the welcome team is very large, and the Zhou family is also unexpected.

Fengjun's military column slowly entered Tianjin Station, and the platform was full of welcoming people. It was the first time that the image of Fengjun's heroic soldiers was intuitively conveyed to the people in the pass.

The train stopped slowly, fueled with coal and water, Zhang Tinglan, Zhang Xueliang, Yang Yuting and others walked out of the carriage one after another, striding forward, and appeared in front of everyone. They immediately greeted countless people with their handsome military uniforms, neat military appearance, and handsome faces. With the applause, many female students even screamed, and the scene almost got out of control. (To be continued..)
