Jagged Warlord

228. Taking down Fengtian

After pacifying Outer Mongolia, Li Mohan and Li Yuanhong took advantage of this event for a while, and even Sun Wen sent a congratulatory message, saying, "The second lord is comparable to Huo Qubing and Fu Jiezi."

Taking advantage of this moment, Li Mohan reorganized the Army University left by Beiyang.Army University was founded by Yuan Shikai in Baoding, and later moved to Beijing.Li Mohan chose Wang Geng, a young soldier, as the principal of the Army University. He hoped that this high-achieving student who graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point could bring a new look to this military university.

Wang Geng, courtesy name Shouqing, was born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province. He was originally a son of an official. After his family declined, he worked hard to study. He received early Chinese education in Beijing Anding Middle School and Tsinghua University for Studying in America. Because of his outstanding academic performance and very traditional Chinese temperament, As a result, he was selected and sent to the United States to receive further education at all public expenses. After graduating from Tsinghua University, he went to the United States to study.After studying at the University of Michigan, he entered Columbia University, Princeton University and other prestigious schools, and received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Princeton University with honors. Later, he was interviewed by the US Military Academy at West Point, where he received higher education in the US Army and was a classmate of the famous American general Eisenhower.

He is a talented student who graduated from the West Point Military Academy. He has lived in the United States for many years, and everything works according to the Western style of work.When to work and when to play, there is a clear distinction, and he is extremely strict with himself. He is a dedicated military officer.From Monday to Saturday, he can only work and never entertain. His behavior is rigid to the point of an ascetic.Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, he is a dedicated officer, citizen, and man, and everyone has a very good impression of him.If such a person serves as the principal, he will definitely bring an excellent style of study to the military academy.

Speaking of which, at this time, the three divisions of the participating army compiled and trained by Li Mohan have already been eliminated.Song Huanzhang was promoted two ranks from regiment leader to teacher commander in a row, and he was naturally very grateful for Li Mohan's support and support.Before departure, Li Mohan sent Dai Li, who had been in the Military Intelligence Department for several months, to Song Huanzhang as a staff officer. Song Huanzhang was a little puzzled.

Li Mohan met Song Huanzhang in secret, and said to him: "Qichen (Song Huanzhang), this time I sent you to the northeast, on the surface, it is to protect the Chinese nationals in Vladivostok and Khabarovsk. In fact, there is another mission secretly, can you guess it?" ?”

Song Huanzhang was a smart man, and he immediately replied: "If I guess correctly, it is to keep the three eastern provinces firmly in my hands. Heilongjiang is already in my pocket. This time I will deal with either Meng Enyuan in Jilin or Zhang Zuolin in Fengtian."

Li Mohan was naturally very happy to have a subordinate who knew a little bit about it. He said to Song Huanzhang, "Qichen is spiritual, and the future is limitless. This time, you are going to solve Fengtian's Zhang Zuolin. When you arrive in Fengtian, Dai Li will be in charge of contacting all opposition parties. Zhang Zuolin's men, you must be ready to take Fengtian by force at any time. If necessary, you may also want to stay in Fengtian."

Song Huanzhang was ecstatic when he heard this. The so-called staying in Fengtian probably meant that he made himself the governor of Fengtian.Unexpectedly, the Prime Minister thought highly of him so much, Song Huanzhang was a little excited, and he replied as calmly as possible: "I, Song Qichen, am willing to embarrass the Prime Minister."

"I'll wait for your good news." Li Mohan smiled

It is said that in Fengtian, through the operation of the Military Intelligence Department and through needles, three forces opposing Zhang Zuolin have been contacted.The first group is Feng Delin, the second group is Tang Yulin, and the third group is led by the gunner of the big bandit Du Lisan, named Wu Sansheng.After Du Lisan was tricked and shot by Zhang Zuolin, Wu Sansheng gritted his teeth with hatred for Zhang Zuolin.Looking for an opportunity to avenge Du Lisan, because after Qingmakan was wiped out, the strength of the team was greatly weakened, so he had to rob everywhere to get property to buy guns.As a result, the frequency of robbery increased greatly, and he waited in ambush in the woods before dawn.By chance, I met Zhang Zuolin and his party.Besides, when Zhang Zuolin saw Wu Sansheng, the two of them were taken aback when they met, and Wu Sansheng wished he could swallow the little Zhang alive.But after all, after Du Lisan was wiped out, the remnants were seriously injured, robbing the stinky tofu vendors on the road, and the little daughter-in-law who returned to her natal home paid off.Dealing with the formal "National Armed Police Force" is far from it.Within a few rounds, Wu Sansheng couldn't resist, and ran away with his accomplices in resentment.

So Song Huanzhang took Li Mohan's secret order east out of Shanhaiguan, declaring with great fanfare that this is the participating army going to Europe to join the war.When the army arrived in Fengtian, Feng Delin and Tang Yulin graciously arranged board and lodging for Song Huanzhang's ninth division army, and even went to greet Song Huanzhang outside the city in person.

Song Huanzhang also saluted Feng Delin and Tang Yulin, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you see Master Zhang from the 27th Division?"

Feng Delin replied: "He said that he was ill recently, and he was afraid that his illness would offend you, Mr. Song."

"Oh? Sick?" Dai Li who was standing beside Song Huanzhang sneered

"Who is this?" Tang Yulin asked

Song Huanzhang smiled and replied: "This is my chief of staff, Dai Li and Dai Yunong. Although he is young, he is a popular person around the Prime Minister."

"I don't dare to be a celebrity." Dai Li saluted Feng Delin and Tang Yulin with a smile, "Dai Li has met both of them."

Song Huanzhang said: "I am a visitor from afar. Since Mr. Zhang is ill, I have to go to see him anyway. Otherwise, the Prime Minister will blame me for not knowing etiquette."

Feng Delin was taken aback for a moment, then he understood, and said with a smile: "Everything is under Mr. Song's command."

Tang Yulin's brain turned slowly, but he soon understood. He suddenly became energetic and said, "I know the way, and I will lead the way."

Zhang Zuolin was naturally not sick, but he felt faintly that Li Mohan would definitely deal with him, so instead of staying at home, he moved his whole family to the 27th Division Headquarters.

Tang Yulin brought Song Huanzhang and his gang to Zhang Zuolin's mansion, but he didn't see anyone, so he asked where Zhang Zuolin had gone?The family replied that Mr. Zhang had gone to the division headquarters.

The speaker was not interested in the listener, and Song Huanzhang, Dai Li, Feng Delin, Tang Yulin and others immediately became nervous. Could it be that Zhang Zuolin got some news and went to the division to mobilize troops to deal with him?Song Huanzhang hurriedly let the troops of the Ninth Division get off the train and stationed outside Fengtian City. Song Huanzhang immediately took Dai Li into the barracks.Feng Delin and Tang Yulin also immediately mobilized their troops, and the air in Fengtian City suddenly became tense.

In the headquarters of the 27th Division, Zhang Zuolin was also extremely nervous, "What? Song Huanzhang deployed the troops outside Fengtian City?"

Zhang Zuoxiang looked nervous, "That's not true. My Ma Bian saw it with his own eyes. The cannon looks like a big chimney. There are also dozens of armored chariots."

"Is this Li Mohan going to attack us?" Zhang Zuolin nervously pulled out the gun in his hand and inserted it back.

"Report, Song Huanzhang brought people to the gate of Daying." A horse Bian rushed in to report

Zhang Zuoxiang asked, "Did he bring someone here?"

Ma Bian replied, "I have, and there are quite a few."

"Damn it." Zhang Zuolin pulled out his pistol and put it on the brim of his hat, "Call the brothers and come out with me to meet Song Huanzhang."

Not long after, Zhang Zuolin led a group of soldiers with guns to the gate of the camp, and saw Song Huanzhang, Feng Delin, and Tang Yulin waiting at the gate of the camp with a few soldiers on horseback.

"Damn it, who said there are a lot of people?" Zhang Zuolin found that Song Huanzhang and the others had only brought a few guards, and he seemed timid with so many people around him.

Song Huanzhang jumped off his horse, bowed his hands to Zhang Zuolin, and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have admired your name for a long time."

Zhang Zuolin also cupped his fists and said, "Mr. Song, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Song Huanzhang smiled and said: "Brother, I am leaving the customs this time to go to Russia to protect the Chinese nationals. I stopped here and heard that Master Zhang was ill, so I came here to visit him."

Zhang Zuolin was a little embarrassed, so he pretended to cough a few times, "Ah, yes, brother, I really feel a little sick recently."

Feng Delin interjected and said, "Yuting, this is how you welcome Mr. Song from the Central Committee? Look at your soldiers, pointing guns at us one by one. Do you want to resist the Central Committee?"

Just as Zhang Zuolin was about to speak, he heard a "bang" gunshot, and Song Huanzhang even shook his head and fell to the ground.

"Teacher!" A few guards rushed up to protect Song Huanzhang, "It's not good, the teacher was shot!"

"Zhang Zuolin, do you dare to shoot a member of the Central Committee?" Feng Delin shouted

"It's not good, Zhang Zuolin is rebelling." Tang Yulin and Feng Delin's subordinates yelled together, and then hurriedly carried Song Huanzhang onto the horse, and Song Huanzhang's subordinates shot back at Zhang Zuolin's subordinates.

Zhang Zuolin's subordinates were already nervous, and when Song Huanzhang's men fired, they also fired without hesitation. For a while, gunshots rang out and the scene was in chaos.

"Don't shoot~don't shoot~" Zhang Zuolin and Zhang Zuoxiang yelled desperately, but the scene was too chaotic to control.

After Song Huanzhang, Feng Delin and others ran away, Zhang Zuolin's subordinates stopped shooting.

"Who the hell fired the gun?" Zhang Zuolin yelled, "Damn it, stand up for me."

The soldiers looked at each other, no one knew who fired the first shot.

Zhang Zuoxiang put away his pistol and said, "Seventh brother, if we don't fight now, Feng Delin and Tang Yulin will definitely put on shoes for us at Song Huanzhang's place. We can't just sit and wait for death."

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Zuolin said: "Our 27th Division is evenly matched with Feng Delin's 28th Division, plus the Ninth Division of the Central Army, how can we fight?"

Zhang Zuoxiang was also anxious. He grabbed his hat, crumpled it into a ball in his hands, and said, "It's a big deal and I won't go into the mountains again."

Zhang Zuolin also had this idea, but he looked around, but no one seemed to respond.After all, no one wants to be a bandit.Zhang Zuolin had nothing to do, he hurriedly prepared to escape, and at the same time called his counselor Du Banlin to discuss.

After hearing Zhang Zuolin's request for help, Du Banlin said he was helpless.He said: "Li Mohan is very ambitious, and he planned to attack you a long time ago. If you raise your hand and surrender right now, maybe you still have a chance."

Zhang Zuolin thought about it, but he had no choice but to follow Du Banlin's advice and take his own backbone to the Ninth Division to surrender.Song Huanzhang accepted Zhang Zuolin's surrender, and all the soldiers were recruited. He was willing to pay for the civilians, and he was willing to undergo new training for three months after the soldiers passed the identification.Officers at all levels who are willing to continue to serve in the army will all be sent to military academies for half a year of rapid training.
