    At first, Zhang Zuolin was quite dissatisfied with the choice of this place: he liked to do things with real swords and guns, and the assassination was different from his usual style, and it happened on his own territory. If the yellow mud smeared on his crotch, it would be either shit or shit.  , how will others comment on you?  He originally admired Yang Yuting very much, but now he hates his vicious behavior.

    However, Zhang Hanqing understood his father's thoughts and smiled slightly and said: "Yang Yuting is in charge of Tianjin Fengjun. Although Xu Shuzheng is nominally the deputy commander of Fengjun, everyone knows his identity and knows that he cannot mobilize Fengjun.  No one would blame Fengjun for this incident. As long as his father was far away in Fengtian at the time of the incident, it can be said that he was not slack in restraining his subordinates. As long as there is proof that Xu and Yang did it privately, my father  If we announce the severe punishment to the public, we can offset the public opinion that is not favorable to me."

    Zhang Zuolin looked at Zhang Hanqing with some surprise, and said slowly: "Xiao Liuzi, I know that you and Ling Ge (characterized by Yang Yuting) have always been at odds, but you still recommended him as his Governor-General's Office. Although Ling Ge made this move, wasn't it based on the original plan?  Did you make the decision after consultation? This kind of killing of donkeys will chill the officers and soldiers. Why do you think so?"

    Yang Yuting is someone he has always relied on, no worse than Sun Liechen, Zhang Zuoxiang and others who started his career.  Yang Yuting has outstanding abilities and can always find the crux of the problem in chaos. During the long period of time he served as his senior counselor (general counselor, equivalent to the secretary-general of the Military Commission), he freed himself from the heavy general affairs and served under the department.  He owes a lot to what he has achieved today.

    No matter how Zhang Zuolin¡¯s worth changes, there are two positions that Yang Yuting has always held in his hands: one is Zhang Zuolin¡¯s general counselor, and the other is the supervisor of the arsenal.  The former is the counselor's military aircraft; the latter is the lifeblood of Fengjun.

    He also united a large number of people in Fengtian: Zhang Jinghui, Zhang Zuolin's brother-in-law and veteran brigade commander of the 27th Division, Yu Zhen, the veteran and deputy chief of staff of the 27th Division, Xi Qia, the education director of Fengtian Martial Arts Hall, and the Heilongjiang Governor's Office  General Counselor Ding Chao and a large number of famous people.  They occupy important positions, need troops and weapons, and have become a force that cannot be underestimated.

    In the process of the rise of Zhang Hanqing and his family, their interests will inevitably be eroded.  Because of this, Yang Yuting carried out a private resistance. Although Yang Yuting strongly supported the separation of the army and police during the Fengtian reform, it was just because he was also unhappy with Tang Yulin and used Zhang Hanqing's power to eliminate it. It did not mean that he had any feelings for Zhang Hanqing.  Strength does not exclude or suppress.  If it weren¡¯t for him, the People¡¯s Party¡¯s development in Fengtian would not have been constrained, the long-overdue land reform in Fengtian would not have been delayed until the end of last year, and Zhang Hanqing would not have been forced to say that ¡°the People¡¯s Party will not seize power in the three northeastern provinces.¡±  Efforts of Executive Power¡±.

    Of course, Zhang Zuolin is happy to see the consequences of Zhang Hanqing and Yang Yuting's dirty deeds.  If an organization is stagnant or always speaks with one voice, it is abnormal in itself.  What the superiors have to do is, firstly, to stir up disputes within the organization at the right time, and secondly, to grasp this situation and prevent it from affecting the overall situation.  Although Lao Zhang has never taken any systematic management courses, during the long-term intrigue, he completed the social university courses and achieved excellent results.

    Zhang Hanqing said softly: "If father knew what Yang Yuting did in the pass, I think you would not blame me for being cruel." He only said a few words quietly, and Zhang Zuolin immediately became furious and shouted: "I didn't expect that I  There is this white-eyed wolf nesting next to me!"

    Stopping Zhang Zuolin's move to order the adjutant to pull Yang Yuting back for questioning, Zhang Hanqing said calmly: "Father, the matter is now over. Let's see how things develop. With this matter, father can first push the matter away, and secondly, he can naturally take advantage of the situation.  With Yang's power being wiped out to the end, among the three, I think we can gain some more benefits from this incident."

    Zhang Zuolin watched Zhang Hanqing remain silent for a long time, then suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiao Liuzi, I was right to ask you to study hard. People who drink foreign ink are different from what we think!"

    After Lu Jianzhang arrived in Tianjin, Xu Shuzheng wrote a letter asking him to come to the Fengjun headquarters in Tianjin for a discussion.  Lu Jianzhang believed that he was a current general and an old-timer of the Beiyang faction, and he was in the Fengjun headquarters. He had no doubt that someone would murder him.  He went as promised, and Xu Shuzheng graciously invited him to talk in the secret room of the garden. When he entered the garden, his guards were blocked outside.  At this time, he still didn't think about the worst.

    But when he saw several Xu Shuzheng's guards armed with short guns pouring into the garden, everything became clear.  He stared at Xu Shuzheng and said: "Deputy Commander Xu, I am a high official of the country. You have neither the presidential decree nor the authorization of the Congress. Why should you arrest me? This incident will never let go!"  At this time, he still did not expect that this time Xu did not play his cards according to common sense, and he was going to be sentenced to death.

      Xu Shuzheng said with a smile: "I don't have a handwriting, but I have a pistol." He said loudly to the guards: "As a national official, Lu Jianzhang has colluded with the rebellious party and has evil intentions. I am ordered by the President to kill him  Shoot them on the spot to serve as a warning to others!"

    When Lu Jianzhang heard these words, he knew that disaster was coming. Before he could reply, a guard shot him from behind and killed him.

    To be honest, if Lu Jianzhang persuaded Cao Kun to return to the Zhili clique, the Anhui clique would lose a general for no reason, and the capital would be in danger.  Therefore, according to Xu Shuzheng's position, Lu Jianzhang had the means to die, and Xu Shuzheng had the intention to kill.  It's just that this approach is very unpopular, but it was something Duan Qirui and others did not expect.

    After killing Lu, Xu Shuzheng asked Fang Shu, the secretary-general of the Academy, to draft an order through a long-distance phone call, and asked Feng Guozhang to seal it and publish the full text of the order as follows: "Previously, Zhang Huaizhi, Ni Sichong, Chen Shufan, Lu Yongxiang, etc. successively reported that Lu Jianzhang was in Anhui, Shaanxi, etc."  Those who colluded with bandits, incited the army, attempted to promote chaos, and recently colluded with the party in Shanghai should be dealt with by telegram from the State Council. This is to be forwarded by the Prime Minister, and according to the telegram from Fengjun Deputy Commander Xu Shuzheng: Lu Jianzhang arrived from Shanghai  Jin, come back to the camp to incite incitement, and should be shot. As an officer, Lu Jianzhang dared to go around inciting the army and colluding with bandits. According to the regulations on punishing bandits, he should be punished immediately. Now that he has been shot, he will immediately be deprived of his military honors.  The medal is a symbol of the law."

    He is not very stupid, and he also knows to use the name of "Deputy Commander of Fengjun" to generate electricity in order to draw the Fengxi faction into this muddy water.

    Feng Guozhang was so frightened that he refused to seal it that day, but felt that he was also in danger. On the 16th, he finally sealed it and published it.  On the surface, Xu Shuzheng had the upper hand, and all parties responded in a low-key manner.  However, this move broke the unspoken rules of the political arena in the early years of the Republic of China: no matter how different the political views of the two opposing parties were, they would rarely directly engage in physical attacks as soon as they left office. This was the case with Wu Peifu, Feng Yuxiang, Chiang Kai-shek, Wang Jingwei and others later.

    Feng Yuxiang is Lu Jianzhang's nephew. After hearing the news of his uncle's death, he was unusually calm and calmly accepted the "honor award" offered by the Presidential Palace to comfort him, and volunteered to be transferred to Fujian to attack the Guangdong French Protectorate Army.

    In fact, Feng Yuxiang has found out the real cause of Lu Jianzhang's death. As Lu Jianzhang's nephew and son-in-law, he naturally cannot forget this relationship and support - Lu Jianzhang is Feng Yuxiang's old boss.  However, before waiting for an opportunity to attack Xu Shuzheng, he must first save his own life, because the Anhui clique is now powerful, and he understands the principle of "Shen Sheng will die inside, and Chong'er will be safe outside."  He applied for a long-distance transfer to Fujian, but it was not to stay away from the land of right and wrong.

    The assassination incident caused Xu Shuzheng to be questioned by many parties and his reputation was greatly damaged.  It also provoked the hatred between the Anhui clique, especially Xu Shuzheng, and Feng Yuxiang, who was on the periphery of the Zhili clique, and brought new seeds of discord to the Zhili and Anhui cliques. Although the Feng clique failed to divide Zhili and Anhui as it wished, it was knocked out by Xu Shuzheng's hands.  Recruiting Jilin Meng Enyuan's strong support for Lu Jianzhang would have all the advantages and no disadvantages for Zhang Zuolin.

    The sequelae caused by this assassination incident have already put Duan Qirui on fire, and now he has no intention of pursuing the matter of Feng Jun and Liang Seizing his arms!  In order to eliminate internal and external doubts about Lu Jianzhang's death in the Fengjun garrison, Zhang Zuolin ordered the dismissal of Yang Yuting from his position as chief of general staff of the Fengjun outside the Pass on the grounds that Yang Yuting was involved in the "assassination scandal" and had insufficient control over the Fengjun outside the Pass, and Zhang Zuoxiang took over instead.  .

    Zhang Zuoxiang also served as the leader of the "Assassination Gate" investigation team. At the same time, he recommended that the Beiyang government remove Xu Shuzheng from participating in the war outside the customs and directly serve as deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, successfully transferring this explosive cartridge.

    With Yang Yuting losing power, Zhang Hanqing is the proudest person.  Sun Liechen and Zhang Zuoxiang, among the three major factions of the Lao-Feng clique, all support him. Now that he is the biggest obstacle on the way forward, he is in trouble. No wonder Xiao Zhang is so rude.  Taking this opportunity, he said to Zhang Zuolin: "The Governor's Office has two positions, the General Counselor and the Chief of Staff. Some of the responsibilities overlap. For example, if a senior general like Yang Yuting serves as the de facto deputy of the Governor, the General Counselor has a high position. If this person is ambitious,  It is not difficult to expand and isolate the governor. Therefore, I think it is better not to set up the post of general counselor in the future. Considering the particularity of the army, major military matters are decided by the governor and tasks are delegated by the chief of staff. General matters are left to the subordinate divisions themselves.  That¡¯s enough to deal with.¡±

    Zhang Zuolin hated the situation and wanted to agree to this idea, but there were still many trivial matters to deal with in the Military Governor's Office. Zhang Zuolin spent more of his energy on controlling the divisions under his command.  Zhang Dashuai, who was at the right time in his life, did not have so much time to deal with trivial matters.

    In response to this, Zhang Hanqing took a step back: "Then at least use civilian officials. As long as they reach that position, the generals will inevitably be dissatisfied and more likely to create threats."

    Hearing this, Zhang Zuolin thought to himself for a while, then suddenly shook his head and said, "You have to be capable and loyal at the same time. Is it possible that you should be allowed to take this position?"

    ¡°Hey, this is exactly what Zhang Hanqing thought!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
