young marshal spring and autumn

The young marshal dressed in a yellow woolen coat and attire greeted Chang Desheng accompanied by Major General Zhang Jinghui, the brigade commander.Zhang Hanqing, who was in charge of the army for the first time, tried his best to maintain his elegant image, but the heroic spirit he expected was concealed by age, which was helpless.Who told him to be so handsome?

Chang Desheng looked at Zhang Hanqing, who was still childish, and he was angry first: "Young commander, Fengjun Yijun is Prime Minister Duan's arm, and Fengjun openly snatches the firearms that the central government is going to prepare for the 'Participating Army'. Is it to betray the Prime Minister? ?”

Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "Where did you start? Hanqing was ordered by Prime Minister Jun to escort this batch of arms to Beijing in preparation for the war. With the Central Committee's order in hand, Chief of Staff Xu came forward to arrange the weapons. Hanqing just Just follow orders. For specific matters, General Chang may as well ask Chief Xu? Or go directly to Da Tian Ting and call the Prime Minister? This matter will be clear as soon as you ask, there is no falsehood."

Chang Desheng has been in the officialdom all his life, how can Zhang Hanqing get rid of it with a few words?He said with a smile on his face: "Since the young commander has a transfer order, you might as well let Chang have a look. If there is indeed such a thing, of course you will listen to it."

Of course there is no transfer order.Feng Jun is clearly robbing, but it is not the original intention of Feng Faction to turn his face in the first place.Zhang Hanqing smiled and said: "The head of state's instruction is the dispatch order. Only my father, Chief Xu and the head of state know about this matter, and Xueliang is only following orders. Of course, it is reasonable for the prime minister to order the army to crusade against the southern army. Is there any reason not to support arms? No. Speaking of guns, even the military salary was paid in advance. If General Chang doesn’t believe it, he can call the central government to inquire about this matter, or communicate with my father.”

Chang Desheng listened for a long time, so it is so!He also made his position clear: "The central government stores the firearms here, and Yijun has the responsibility to keep them safe. They have not been ordered by the government, so they dare not be harsh on private matters. If Fengjun has a need, I will ask the central government for instructions before making a decision. ?”

Zhang Hanqing also has a way to deal with it. He put on a posture that must be won and said: "Soldiers are precious and fast. When you receive an order and learn well, you can send troops immediately, and you need to go to the front line immediately. There are many procedures for telegrams. If there is any military delay , I’m afraid it’s not something Xueliang can bear. General Chang might as well call himself, and if Xueliang violates the order of the central government, he can make it clear to the inside and outside, so as to never serve the private interests of the army.”

He made it clear that I will take away the batch of firearms first, and after the raw rice is cooked, I will write the telegram slowly as you like.If Duan Qirui, the head of state, disagrees, now is the time to ask for the Feng Family, so dare to tell the people at home and abroad that I am not authentic in the Feng Family?

Zhang Hanqing gestured to Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Jinghui was also Zhang Zuolin's old general, why didn't he understand?He asked loudly: "The soldiers in front have no weapons and ammunition. Do we want us to fight with bare hands?"

Changde was so angry that he didn't hit one place: these days, the army is in turmoil, and if you have a gun, you are king!As long as the Feng family swallows the general fire, it will definitely be a meat bun beating a dog, and there will be no return.But now is the time when the central government needs to use the Feng Faction, so it won't turn their backs on this batch of arms.As a side branch of the Anhui faction, the backbone of his group of Yijun couldn't understand Duan Qirui's thoughts: the Feng faction and other local warlords want to use it, but they must control its development to prevent it from getting too big.A powerful Feng family, coupled with a batch of arms, is like a tiger with wings added!

But he is not the opponent of the Feng family at present.A young marshal personally led a reorganized brigade. It seemed that the Feng Faction had invested heavily in this batch of munitions and was determined to win.With Fengjun facing the enemy, it is impossible to force him to stay. If the opponent turns his face and eats him, it can be said that Yijun interfered with Fengjun's actions and was forced to defend himself!Based on the rumors of Zhang Zuolin's annexation of Feng and Hei provinces, it is not impossible for such a thing to happen.

Chang Desheng couldn't, but he was still trying to make the last effort.He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Eat the imperial rations and do things for the country together. Your army insists on doing this. I have nothing to say. Whether it is right or wrong will be determined by the central government. It's just that your army came suddenly, and the manpower may be insufficient. The matter of transporting arms , although Yi Jun is old, he can still do it. Let the commander-in-chief take care of himself, and I will arrange the manual transportation." He is about to use the dragging formula to solve the current problem.Given time, there may be opportunities for remediation.

But the young marshal directly rejected his kindness. Zhang Hanqing said: "Soldiers are precious, and all the ammunition will be replenished immediately on the spot. General Chang's kindness, I accept it with conscience."

There is no need to talk about the next scene. Feng Jun expressed Zhang Hanqing's joy with practical actions and completely ignored Yi Jun's indignation: Bundles of brand-new rifles were pulled out of the warehouse by Feng Jun and happily escorted into the car.In order to transport this batch of arms, Zhang Hanqing allocated a whole regiment of troops!

Unwilling to be humiliated, Chang Desheng quickly reported to his old boss Jiang Guiti to gain support.But what was unexpected was that Jiang Guiti, on the grounds that he was old and unarmed, did not intend to compete with Zhang Zuolin, a rising political star, which disappointed him greatly.

Under Zhang Hanqing's arrangement, the 27th Division spread the news of the robbing of the guns that were about to arm the Anhui Faction to Beijing with "swift speed". Feng Guozhang and Duan Qirui were equally shocked.

As early as a few years ago, I deeply felt that the old Beiyang faction had been torn apart and could not become a situation, so I decided to speed up the establishment of my own direct force.Although he is the prime minister and also the chief of the army, he cannot recruit private armed forces for no reason.Fortunately, the First World War was coming to an end, and the government of the Republic of China officially joined the Allied Powers years ago. It happened to be an excuse to train a group of multinational troops to go to Europe to participate in the war.So Xu Shuzheng was ordered to set up three mixed brigades of the participating army at the small station, hoping to achieve the purpose of reorganizing the new army.The batch of ordnance he purchased with a loan from Japan was for training his direct descendant's "Participating Army". On the 26th, Duan telegraphed Zhang Zuolin to "return the original" and ship it to Beijing.

How can you easily give up what you have?Zhang Zuolin also sent a telegram on the same day, saying that he had already arranged for the Southern Expedition, but he was unable to set off due to lack of ammunition, and now he was withdrawing the ammunition without reporting. On the 27th, he replied to Duan Qirui, saying: "The request for armaments from Fengtian this time is based on the order of the head of state to crusade against the army and to serve as the government's backing. The army trained, both internally and externally, supports the central government. Once it is organized into an army , listened to the government's urging, transported to Beijing and stayed in Feng, the purpose is the same. The whole army belongs to the country, so what equipment is enough?" After finally eating the fat in the import, how can you spit it out so easily?This is not Zhang Zuolin's character.

Duan Qirui was helpless, Zhang Zuolin had already made it clear: Whether I borrowed arms or robbed arms, they are the property of the state, who will use them or not?Why favor one over another?Since you want me to work for you, no matter what, you have to draw some blood, right?He, Duan Qirui, can never say that this batch of ammunition is for his private soldiers!Prime Minister Duan, who was caught in the loopholes, couldn't vent his anger, but he was even more wary of Feng Jun.
