Zhang Zuolin was very happy for Xu Shuzheng's visit.At least, in this troubled world, I can finally be regarded as a person now, and I am really relied on by the authority.

Although Zhang Zuolin was born in the green forest, he has long had great ambitions. He supports himself outside the customs, just waiting for the opportunity to win the Central Plains.However, regardless of whether Zhi, Wan, or Yuan Shikai is alive, they are on the defensive against Fengtian's army, and Fengtian's army has never been able to go out of the pass.Now the situation is stronger than others, Duan Qirui was ill and went to the doctor in a hurry, and he "invited" him to leave the customs, of course he was happy.Hearing the news, I am already eager to try.

On the contrary, Zhang Hanqing was surprisingly calm. In private, he directly asked Zhang Zuolin: "Father, do you think that with the current strength of our province, how much trouble can we stir up in the Guan's internal political situation?"

Zhang Zuolin was silent.

Zhang Hanqing smiled slightly and said: "The strength of the Zhiwan and Anhui divisions is now equal, but they are far superior to ours. Although we have the strength of four divisions on the surface, the 27th Division and the 1st Division have to take care of the situation in two provinces, while the 28th Division The division has just surrendered, and people's hearts are unstable; although Marshal Wu's 29th division is assigned to our camp, it is extremely difficult to penetrate. To be honest, such a small force has no decisive impact on the overall situation. In the current situation, no matter whether Zhiwan is better or worse in the end, They all have a heart of defense against us. If you join any of them rashly, you will become a vassal and lose your independent status. Although the situation in the Northeast is unpredictable, it is generally beneficial to us. There is no benefit and no harm, in short, taking self-improvement as your own responsibility is the first priority."

Zhang Zuolin is also the best of the best, and these things were originally in his mind, so they hit it off right away.So the father and son had finished their discussions, and decided that Zhang Hanqing would be the one to sing the white face.

When meeting with Xu Shuzheng, Zhang Hanqing was naturally present. As soon as the two sides turned to the topic, Zhang Hanqing deliberately said to Zhang Zuolin: "Father, the government has a destiny, and it is natural to send troops outside the customs. However, there is currently insufficient armament. It becomes an excuse for others to interfere in the political situation, and it becomes a way to cause chaos." Zhang Zuolin also reacted very quickly, deliberately making it difficult to say: "I also know this, but the current situation in the capital is critical. If we wait for supplies, I am afraid that the opportunity will be missed and the plan for governing will be undermined. "

Xu Shuzheng had already prepared for Zhang's father and son's double reed.He was ordered to go outside the customs to call Fengjun into Beijing, knowing that Zhang Zuolin would never be called if he was not allowed to make great profits.In fact, if the Fengjun does not enter the customs, the situation in Beijing will not turn to the Anhui faction.For Zhang Zuolin, the emperor of the earth, the best gift is the military equipment.He used to be the Deputy Minister of the Army and knew the details of Duan Qirui's purchase of Japanese arms. At the same time, before he handed over the position of the Deputy Minister, he had left several blank official documents of the Army Department stamped with the seal. A batch of arms was exchanged for Zhang Zuolin to send troops into the customs.But Duan Qirui is headstrong, if he was asked for instructions in advance, he would definitely not allow it, and he had to do it first with actions.

With Xu Shuzheng's promise, Zhang Zuolin readily agreed, and immediately sent troops into the pass.Entering the customs this time, Feng Jun took Zhang Zuoxiang as the commander-in-chief of the former enemy.Assisted by Zhang Hanqing, he was actually in charge of all the internal policy plans.

After the news of Fengjun's entry into the customs came out, Feng Guozhang was of course the one who felt the most disturbed. Fengtian was behind Beijing, and he would come as soon as he said it.As early as Yuan Shikai's era, he was impressed by the forces outside the pass and tried his best to be gentle.Feng Guozhang couldn't help thinking that after Zhang Xun led the braided army into Beijing a year ago, Li Yuanhong was expelled from power.He is a president with no soldiers and no power. He can't help himself in Beijing. He has a premonition that he may be expelled or placed under house arrest at any time. From the Jinghan Road south to Hubei, but how could the people of the Duan family let the tiger go back to the mountain.Of course he was not allowed to leave Beijing.

为保证“兵贵神速”,1918年2月24日京奉路火车被奉军扣留运兵;25日奉天军署参谋长杨宇霆带兵到滦州;同日,奉军第27师第53旅张景惠(接替已升职的张作相)部开到秦皇岛。那里有日本政府根据中日军械借款协议第一批运到的步枪30000余只及弹药,也是早就入了张氏父子“法眼”的一块肥肉!

This sum of arms was originally a new type of firearms made in Japan that Duan Qirui worked hard to obtain (at this time, China was unable to manufacture suitable weapons by itself. Usually, the firearms were purchased from Japan, and the artillery came from Krupp). Originally, it borrowed 2000 million yuan in the name of participating in the war against Germany in the late World War I. It was used for self-training of the three divisions and four mixed brigades of the participating army. This is the first batch.

The person in charge of guarding these guns is the Changde Sheng Department under Yijun Jiang Guiti, a peripheral force in Anhui Province.The Yi Army is a branch of the Huai Army, attached to the Anhui faction in the dispute between the government and the court.As the "General Zhaowu" who is said to have an army of 10 Yi, supervised the military affairs of Rehe, and was also the governor of Rehe, Jiang Gui was old and spicy.Duan Qirui thought it would be the safest thing to transfer this batch of arms to Beijing through his territory, but he didn't know that the first thing he did when Feng Jun, who always supported Premier Duan, came out of customs was to attack this batch of arms.

Chang Desheng (Major General), the commander of Yi Army stationed in Qinhuangdao, could never have imagined that Feng Jun dared to risk the world's displeasure and hit Duan's idea on the head of Duan "Central". The next site!Originally thought that Fengjun dispatched troops to Tianjin, and Qinhuangdao just borrowed it. However, Fengjun seemed to have been prepared.

Although the Yi Army has been glorious in history, it is now a corrupt and old army.Facing Fengjun's menacing posture, only one recruit mustered up the courage to question Fengjun's "bad behavior", but the front platoon leader of Fengjun who had already accepted the order raised his gun butt and beat him to the ground. The guards of the Yi Army lost their voices collectively. You must know that they have the strength of a reinforced company.

Feng Jun quickly took over the warehouse, as if there was no one there, Yi Jun seemed to feel the shame, and took up the weapons in his hands one after another.But Fengjun's successors swarmed in, and it quickly became a situation where Fengjun had the upper hand.

Chang Desheng had no reason not to express indignation and protest against such a big event. While ordering the garrison under his command to enter a state of combat readiness, he went to the south of the city in person, intending to negotiate by force.If Fengjun is allowed to snatch this batch of arms, not only will Duan Qirui be hard to explain, but Yijun's reputation will be ruined from then on.

But what made him dumbfounded was that the Feng army had already made preparations. Not only did soldiers with live ammunition blockade the entire warehouse, but they also set up several cannons in a posture of "resistance" by force.According to the strength of a reorganized brigade of the Fengjun Army, it is said that it is still under the 27th Division founded by Zhang Zuolin, and it is definitely not enough for the "two guns" with less than 3000 people in Desheng District to win by force.

Jiang Gui asked Rehe people to grow opium, making Rehe a famous tobacco growing area in the whole country.Because he was born in poverty, he became a member of the army, and to some extent still retained his nature of vigorous style and simple life. At the same time, he also attached great importance to the combat effectiveness and military discipline of the army. However, as he entered his twilight years, Yi Jun seemed to have entered his twilight years. Due to the lack of military pay and the influence of many years of comfortable life, Yi Jun has gradually deteriorated. Smoking opium has become a landscape in the army. Spearmen" local troops (the more famous one is the Guizhou Army).Today's Yi Jun is not in the same spirit as yesterday, and he is far from the same level as the well-trained Feng Jun.

Chang Desheng is not afraid of a surprise attack by the Fengjun. At least for now, everyone is still obeying the banner of the Central Committee——Duan Qirui.He is ready to know the advantages and disadvantages, and use words instead of force to resolve the matter.

But what he met was the young marshal.
