The parliamentary elections that were supposed to be held were naturally suspended because of the development of this matter.One is that the feudal lords from all over the world think that the Feng family has become a big situation, and participating in the so-called elections is just "making wedding clothes for others", and it also gives the Feng family a legal cloak to rule the court, so they are not enthusiastic; but the main reason is that Zhang Hanqing proposed " The purpose of suspending the election was to block the Japanese from conspiring to invade China.

Allowing Duan Qirui to continue to be a puppet on stage will allow the Feng faction to have a buffer in foreign affairs, especially Japan's diplomacy: major treaties that are unfavorable to China, bypassing the People's Party that is actually in power, can be abolished in the future, and the responsibility lies with Duan; all major matters that Duan nods to, if the People's Party does not agree, they will not actually come into effect.Zhang Zuolin hid behind Duan Qirui, enjoying himself.

In order to contain Japan's actions in the Northeast, Zhang Hanqing tried to use Britain and the United States to contain Japan.He spared no expense to introduce American capital into Northeast China, asking the United States to build railways such as Datong (Dahushan to Tongliao), Shenhai (Shenyang to Hailong) and Huludao Port, while Japan proposed Zengxiu Ji (Lin) Hui (Korean Huining ) Railways, mines, factories, immigration, etc., as well as the request to prevent China from building a port in Huludao, all of which were not complied with, which aroused Japan's dissatisfaction.

Yamamoto returned to Beijing again, hoping that Zhang Zuolin could turn the "Beijing-Harbin Line" plan from a secret agreement into an open and formal agreement, and sign another letter on the detailed agreement (that is, the specific terms), but this time Zhang Zuolin refused to submit anyway. He refused to sign on the grounds that Duan Qirui was the head of state.

In fact, the last time Zhang Zuolin signed a "reading", Zhang Zuolin regretted it to death.He knew that it was not as simple as just building a few roads. There were also attached lands around the railway, where Japanese troops could be stationed like the Nanman Railway.Zhang Zuolin was prepared to deny it when he signed the word "reading", but he knew that the Japanese were difficult to deal with. Even if you left a strand of hair on the ground, they would pick it up and "follow the vine", and it would be annoying in the future.

Sure enough, Yamamoto came to collect debts without hesitation.Zhang Zuolin simply said: "I am not yet the head of a country. If this is made public, the public opinion will be too big, and there will be a scene of 'national opinion'. .I'm finished, do you have any benefits, who will implement this plan?"

It made sense for Yamamoto to think about it, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "You can put aside the matter of writing first, and the real way to implement the spirit of the document is the kingly way."Zhang Zuolin heard it: "That's right. In this way, I can't handle it at the central government. The county magistrate is better off now. You can go to Xiaoliuzi. He is now in charge of the planning committee. All transportation and construction planning must go through him. It's done."

Shan Ben asked Zhang Hanqing to explain his intention.Zhang Hanqing smiled wryly in his heart: "This cheap dad, if he can't get it right, he will give up to his son, and he will show his love for the calf all day long." Now his main energy has been put on the use of troops against the Southwest in the near future. I really don't want to get involved with annoying things.But father and son are connected, he is very clear about dad's thoughts, it is nothing more than the word "drag", this is not easy!

He said to Yamamoto: "The Beijing-Harbin line is already under planning, but the specific affairs have to be handled by the government. You should go to the government to inquire about the progress. Let me tell you, they will definitely handle it for you." With one kick, the ball went to Wang Yongjiang, chairman of the administrative committee.

Wang Yongjiang has been following these two old and young masters for a long time, so he naturally understands it, and immediately pretends to be a fool, saying that he doesn't understand this one, and he doesn't know that one, and casually throws this hot potato to the people below. .

The people below can't push down any further, so you look at me, I look at you-what are you waiting for, let's continue playing football.

This time, Yamamoto had suffered enough from the "Chinese-style office". He was busy for a long time, but he didn't get anything.Man Tie was wilting, so he had to change the government to come forward directly, this time it was Fang Ze, Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Fangze flew to Beijing from China, came to see Zhang Zuolin that night, and refused to leave as soon as he sat down.Zhang Zuolin also sat there the whole time, accompanying him.Zhang Zuolin didn't say a word, Fangze was speechless for a while, seeing that it was getting late, and he couldn't dawdle any longer, well, let's get back to the topic, "The purpose of visiting your Excellency tonight is to settle the matter of the railway."

When it comes to key points, Zhang Zuolin is absolutely unambiguous: "Didn't you say that, it is a local matter, and it has been handed over to Wang Yongjiang. Why, hasn't he done it yet? Oh, oh, I will remind you again Urge".Fangze was in a hurry, and being "local and local", he thought it was not enough to fool me, so he couldn't help blurting out: "Isn't there an old saying in your country, 'One word from a gentleman, a four-horse horse is hard to follow', you can't count what you say."

Lao Zhang waved his hand, "Come on, I'm not the 'gentleman' you said, I used to be a horse thief and a beard!"

Sitting with Lao Zhang, the "elegant" Fangze is a bit like a scholar meeting a soldier. Since the aggressive method doesn't work, you have to come directly - without our support, you can't stay in Beijing.Conversely, it is equivalent to saying that if Japan "supports" them, "staying in Beijing" will not be a problem.

Zhang Zuolin blocked it unceremoniously, "If I can't sit still in Beijing, it won't be too late to return to the outside of the customs. The Northeast is my home. We, Zhang, can go for a walk when we are happy. Go back if you are happy, who can stop me?"

Fangze was thinking about what words he could use to put the old man under control. Old Zhang, before he could say anything new, he immediately threw the pipe in his hand to the ground hard, and only heard a "click", and the emerald mouth His pipe was broken in half.Zhang Zuolin stood up angrily, and rolled his eyes: "Isn't I just such a stinky skin? Don't let it go, no matter what, I can't do things that will make future generations lose their heads!" Zhang Zuolin said angrily Abandoning Fangze and walking away alone.

Zhang Zuolin was born in the army, when he was angry, he was also very evil.With nearly a million elite soldiers in Fengjun's hands, they are a force that has to be taken seriously wherever they go. If there is a trouble, the Japanese government really has to weigh it.So as long as he doesn't get so stiff that he turns his face, the Japanese government really has nothing to do with him.This is the conclusion drawn by Zhang Hanqing, Jiang Baili and other military masters.

Fangze was a civil servant, so he had never seen such a battle before, and he didn't frighten Lao Zhang, but he was frightened by the opponent's aura, so he had to go back home in despair.On the second day of the night talk between the two, in view of Zhang Zuolin's "indifference", the "bearable" Japanese government issued a confession letter.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing government immediately responded to Japan's Kakushu: "The three northeastern provinces and Beijing and Tianjin are all Chinese territories. Don't take our sovereignty for sovereignty."

He said harsh words, but on the same day, Zhang Zuolin also met with the Japanese press corps.Facing the Japanese reporter, Lao Zhang said loudly: "I now have 'great awareness and determination', and I take 'full responsibility' for China's public security, which cannot be questioned," Yu dared to assert again and again Of'."

Of course, Lao Zhang's Tai Chi Kung Fu has always been the way of civil and martial arts, and he will not do things that completely block the door with one piece and one relaxation.When Fangze made another secret visit to press Zhang Zuolin's real intentions, Lao Zhang looked pitiful: "I made that statement and said those words, but there is nothing I can do. Public opinion is watching closely."

Fangze was not fooled by him this time, and immediately took out a new document, which contained several written requests just made by the order of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: "Let's just talk and not practice deceit, look at these few documents. Conditions, if you are sincere, sign it."

"Sign, sign, sign, this time I will definitely sign." Old Zhang solemnly accepted the document with a sincere expression on his face.Seeing the softening of the other party's attitude, Fangze finally breathed a sigh of relief: everything is settled.

After returning, he impatiently sent a telegram to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the General Staff Headquarters, asking these two departments to pay attention to check and collect, so as not to miss the documents sent by Zhang Zuolin.As soon as there is news, let him know immediately.

On the diplomatic front, dealing with a troublesome character like Zhang Zuolin, it is really not easy to achieve some results.But for several days, no matter which department did not notify him.After chasing and asking, the other party was also surprised, how can there be what you said.Who are you playing with me again?Fangze usually looks a bit "honest and honest", but this time he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and came to Lao Zhang to settle the score.

As soon as we met, Lao Zhang slapped himself on the head before Bage Yalu cursed, "Look at my memory, I signed the document for you a long time ago, but I forgot to ask you to come and get it, and you didn't come over by yourself , look, how good it is."

Old Zhang obediently handed over the document to Fangze respectfully.It might be a few days late, anyway, the signature is signed, and you can go back and pay the account.Most of the anger in Fangze's stomach dissipated because of this, and after throwing a few words such as "don't be so naughty next time", he turned his anger into joy, and left cheerfully. He didn't know that his tragicomedy was not over.

When I went back to the embassy, ​​I opened it and saw that the document was signed with "read" again!Not even the legendary "so-and-so black hands".God, you are not my leader, I want you to just "read" what "read".Fangze's eyes darkened, and she fell down on the chair.Really defeated!

This incident was witnessed by a counselor who was with Fangze at that time. After many years, he still had a fresh memory of Zhang Zuolin's "very cunning".Zhang Zuolin used the word "drag" very well.

The Japanese call him "cunning", but if you think about the dangerous situation Zhang Zuolin is in given China's national conditions, you really have to sweat it.Looking at the great situation, the overall situation cannot be destroyed by the Japanese anyway.But if you don't go back and forth with the Japanese, you can't face the Japanese appetite.

Although it looks a bit embarrassing, compared to the traitorous warriors who are self-enriched by the enemy, they deserve a thumbs up, not a middle finger.
