Fengxian Jiangshan

Chapter 435 Assassination

Feng Yuxiang performed outstandingly in the battle against Zhang Xun, and then led his subordinates to station in the Gyeonggi area, but he was not considered a close faction of Beiyang, and his military salary was constantly deducted, especially after Lao Duan decided to join the war. He single-mindedly compiled and trained the participating army, and other forces were suppressed.

Feng Yuxiang was naturally dissatisfied. At this time, Lao Zhang keenly saw the opportunity and contacted Feng Yuxiang proactively to provide him with weapons and funds. Originally, Lao Zhang wanted to use him as a spy and stay in Beijing and Tianjin to spy on the situation. , but he did not expect the opportunity to enter the Central Plains to appear so soon. In order to make a quick decision, Lao Zhang decided to use such a secret.

"Feng Huanzhang, this rebellious boy, how can I treat him so generously? How dare this bastard collude with Zhang Zuolin? Does he want to sell Beijing and Tianjin to Fengjun?"

Old Duan held Feng Yuxiang's defection power-up in his hand, and was furious. He couldn't help being angry. Feng Yuxiang's headquarters was in the north of the capital, and he could kill him right under his nose with a single charge.Zhang Zuolin's move was also very ruthless, directly hitting Duan Qirui's vitals, while Xiao Xu was also frowning.

"Zhi Weng, there are still two participating troops in Gyeonggi. Although they haven't completed training yet, they still have the strength to fight. I will command the participating troops now and eliminate Feng Yuxiang, a rebellious boy!"

This so-called participating army was an army trained under the support of the Japanese. It was used to participate in the First World War in name, but it was actually a personal guard of Duan Qirui.In the original history, there were a total of three divisions, which later became the main force of Xu Shuzheng's border guards.

However, Zhang Tinglan's appearance in this time and space disrupted Xiyuan's loan, and forced Lao Duan to promise not to sign a secret agreement with the Japanese and not to sell the interests of the three eastern provinces.Lao Duan couldn't get enough loans, so the training of the participating troops was delayed a lot, and only two divisions were trained.Moreover, there are not enough members, and there is a lot of shortage of ordnance.

But this was Duan Qirui's last bit of strength, and he could only pin his hopes on these two divisions. The old Duan immediately agreed to let Xu Shuzheng lead his troops to deal with Feng Yuxiang, and Xiao Xu took the order to mobilize the army.

But at this moment, in the capital, the dark tide was raging, Liang Qichao, Tang Hualong and other rebel forces kept running around, although these people had no military power in their hands.But each one has hands and eyes open to the sky, and the activity energy is extremely strong.

Tang Hualong suddenly took a note and hurriedly found Liang Qichao. As soon as he met Tang Hualong, he said excitedly: "Mr. Ren, the old Duan signed a secret agreement with the Japanese. He agreed to 21 items and transferred the power of Shandong to the Japanese!"

Liang Qichao also hurriedly took the note.Looked and looked.Then he asked, "Is the news reliable?"

"Of course it is reliable. This is what a councilor of the Prime Minister's Office told me. The Japanese Minister Yukichi Kobata went to the Prime Minister's Office. They talked for a long time, and Xiao Ban came out beaming. This is what they were talking about."

Liang Qichao finally showed a smile on his face: "Duan Qirui is looking for death. Originally we accused him of betraying the country and asked him to step down. Now that the old Duan has settled the matter himself, we can't blame us for being rude."

"Mr. Ren. This time the old Duan was overthrown, and Feng Zhang took advantage of it. If he doesn't offer enough price, we can't agree!"

"Zhang Yuting is a man who came from a reckless background, but he has strong opinions in his heart. He wrote me a secret letter. This time, he did not want to be the president or prime minister when he entered the customs. He only wanted to be the chief of the army. Re-elect, I will take over as the prime minister, and Brother Tang, you will be the chairman of the assembly, we will each take care of it and cooperate with each other!"

Hearing this, Tang Hualong also showed joy on his face, and said with a smile: "Zhang Zuolin is still very sensible, so let's do our best for him!"

After the two discussed it properly, they mobilized the strength of their subordinates, and Liang Qichao also waved a large pen, and soon a freshly-baked appeal was written.

"Prime Minister Duan has forgotten his ancestors and betrayed Shandong!"

"The land of the saints, the Japanese invaders have fallen!

"The prime minister betrays the country, the country will lose the country!"

All kinds of newspapers quickly flooded all over Beijing and Tianjin. The students who had been making noise all the time became even more excited when they got the news. Thousands of people formed a large group and rushed towards the Prime Minister's Office.Not only these ordinary people, but even some military officers close to Duan Qirui asked Lao Duan whether Duan Qirui had signed such a traitorous agreement.

Duan Qirui was also dumbfounded in the face of the monstrous accusations. He never expected such a situation to happen. The old Duan wanted to deny it desperately, but people in the world no longer believed him. It was widely circulated, and now that the truth is presented, no one will believe it if you want to deny it.

In fact, this is Duan Qirui's confusion. At the beginning, 21 things that were so secret could not be kept secret, and the current Beiyang government has no secrets at all. He signed an agreement, but the aid did not wait, and the first thing that waited was big trouble!

Just when Lao Duan was in a state of desperation, the flames of war in the Beijing-Tianjin area also ignited. Xu Shuzheng mobilized his subordinates to attack Feng Yuxiang's troops, hoping to pull out this nail first, but Feng Yuxiang was not easy to deal with, especially when Lao Zhang wanted to support him. , Feng Jun secretly provided Feng Yuxiang with a large amount of arms.

There are still difficulties with heavy artillery, but there are a lot of mortars and heavy machine guns. Feng Yuxiang also has a lot of energy, and he personally commands the troops on the front line to fight.

On the other hand, after Guo Songling led the front of the Feng army to capture Shanhaiguan, he immediately divided into two parts. One part took the train, along the Jingfeng Railway, went straight to Tianjin, and then attacked Beijing. In addition, he sent [-] cavalry to directly Go south and attack Jingbei.

In fact, Guo Songling's troops are limited, so it is very dangerous to divide the troops like this, but at this time, the public opinion is uproarious.

As a result, Guo Songling's plan succeeded, and the two troops advanced quickly. At the same time, Zhang Xueliang commanded the air force to dispatch a large number of leaflets to Beijing to disintegrate the morale of the army.Under such a sudden blow, the defenders in Beijing and Tianjin were all in disarray, and the Feng army advanced into the pass at an unprecedented speed.

Zhang Zuolin, who was still in Fengtian, showed full complacency on his face, and said with a smile: "My old Zhang hasn't exerted all his strength, Duan Qirui can't stand it anymore. The Tiger of Beiyang has a false name and is vulnerable!"

Old Zhang said with a smile, and glanced at Zhang Tinglan, Lao Zhang still had a hint of provocation, clearly he was talking about ginger or old spicy!

"The commander-in-chief is far-sighted. Congratulations to the commander-in-chief for getting a good start. However, Hanqing and the others only have one division, which is too weak. They must send more reinforcements."

"Well, my clumsy words make sense." Lao Zhang said with a smile: "Not only to send reinforcements, but I, Lao Zhang, will also lead an army to enter Beijing!"

After Lao Zhang finished speaking, he stood up and said to his subordinates: "Telephone Zhang Jinghui, let him lead his troops along the Jingfeng Railway, and enter Tianjin as soon as possible. Enter Tianjin first, and I will appoint him as the special mayor of Tianjin!"

Tianjin is the gateway to the north.The economy and trade are developed.It is almost comparable to Shanghai, and a mayor is comparable to the governor of a province.At this time, Zhang Jinghui was on his way to Shanhaiguan. After receiving the order, he immediately accelerated the speed of the army. Tofu Zhang also showed the energy of sprinting [-] meters, desperately going to kill inside the pass.

Then Lao Zhang sent two more telegrams.Let Ji Jinchun and Kan Chaoxi also lead troops into the customs in batches. In addition, Lao Zhang ordered Sun Liechen to send troops from Rehe to attack the Zhangjiakou area and support the main attacking troops from the flanks.

After these troops were sent out.Old Zhang was also full of ambition, and said to Wu Junsheng and Tang Yulin with a smile: "Both old brothers, you all follow me to the south. We will take the army and occupy the Huahua World in the Central Plains. By then, you will all be in one province." Overseer!"

"Thank you for the promotion, Commander!" Tang Yulin shook his big black head and said in great panic.For the past two years or so, he has been sitting on the bench. He thought that he would have no chance to make his mark, but now he is expected to become a military governor, a feudal official of a province, and Lao Tang is extremely happy.

After the order was conveyed, the Feng army was fully mobilized, and Lao Zhang was officially ready to leave. Before leaving, Lao Zhang held Zhang Tinglan's hand.

"Zhuoyan, no matter what time it is, Fengtian is the fundamental place, you must guard Fengtian well, and you must not make mistakes!"

"Don't worry, Marshal, there is absolutely nothing wrong with Fengtian. You should always be careful. The Japanese are too insidious. If they haven't acted yet, they might jump over the wall in a hurry. Don't be careless."

Lao Zhang nodded with a smile: "I will pay attention. There are tens of thousands of elite soldiers around. Even if the little devil has all-powerful abilities, he can't do anything to me. As long as the family is not in chaos, even if the exit is not smooth, the foundation cannot be shaken." .”

Lao Zhang was full of confidence. He issued a declaration of entering the customs, and put forward several political proposals of Fengjun, including the dismissal of Prime Minister Duan Qirui; the restoration of the legal system of the Republic of China, and Li Yuanhong as the president; Make a secret agreement, fight to the death, and defend Qingdao!

These points of view all catered to the demands of the people. The reporter showed unprecedented enthusiasm for Zhang Zuolin and regarded him as the best candidate to save China's political situation.

After Lao Zhang issued the declaration, he took Wu Junsheng and others to drive southward together. Seeing Lao Zhang leave, Zhang Tinglan suddenly felt a little troubled, but she didn't know what the problem was.He could only warn himself that he was preconceived and always worried too much. Maybe this time Lao Zhang's entry into the customs would be very smooth, and the Japanese had no time to react.

Zhang Tinglan also raised the level of military security in Fengtian, and closely monitored Manchurian Railway and other places to prevent the Japanese from taking any sabotage actions. However, unexpectedly, the Japanese behaved very honestly and did not make any changes. It's the same as indifference when the army enters the customs.

Zhang Tinglan's heart became more and more uneasy, and not long ago, in a secret mansion in Tianjin, several Japanese soldiers were walking back and forth, looking restless.

"Zhang Zuolin and his Fengjun are the biggest stumbling block to the empire's mainland policy. If this person is not eliminated, the empire will not be able to control Manchuria and conquer Asia. Those old bureaucrats can't see this at all. They blindly indulge Zhang Zuolin, which caused the We, the soldiers of the empire, must reverse this mistake and get rid of Zhang Zuolin."

"Ishihara-kun, you are right. Since the establishment of the Second Leaf Society, we have aimed to become His Majesty's sharpest sword. Zhang Zuolin's cancer will be wiped out by us!"

"Heben-kun, I entrust everything to you. You are only allowed to succeed, not to fail."

Daisaku Hemoto nodded, walked out of the mansion quickly, and went straight to Shanhaiguan, where there were [-] Japanese garrisons. Compared with the garrisons along the Nanman Railway, this number of troops was very rare, but it was also because of the scarcity that they would not Attract the attention of all parties.

The Japanese had long planned to assassinate Zhang Zuolin, but due to Lao Zhang's strict precautions, the Japanese were unwilling to bear the consequences of falling out with Feng Jun, so they kept procrastinating. But now, the Japanese can no longer procrastinate. If Lao Zhang takes control of Beijing, it will be like a dragon entering the sea, and there will be no chance again.

Therefore, the Japanese government secretly instructed these young military officers to assassinate Zhang Zuolin. Daisaku Kawamoto rushed to Shanhaiguan as quickly as possible, where the Japanese intelligence agency had passed the news of Zhang Zuolin's military ranks.

"Mr. Heben, Zhang Zuolin's train will arrive at Shanhaiguan in five hours. Then it will be a good time for you to show your skills. Please be sure to destroy Zhang Zuolin and eliminate harm for the empire!" (To be continued...)
